Microsoft's directions are lame (what did I expect? :p ):


To uninstall Internet Explorer 7 to return to Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP

1. Click "Start," and then click "Control Panel."
2. Click "Add or Remove Programs."
3. Check "Show Updates" at the top of the dialog box.
4. Scroll down the list and highlight the version of Internet Explorer 7 that you are running, and then click "Change/Remove." (If you are running Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview — March 20 or later, it is not necessary to check "Show Updates.")
5. Go here (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/)and select the appropriate version of Internet Explorer 7 for your operating system.

I'm using IE7 v7.0.5730.11, not beta. Does that mean I just click on IE7 then the Remove button and go from there? I did already, but backed out after the warnings :o

If I remove it that way, will I then still have IE6?

Thanks!

You should. Before I decide to go IE 7 I plan on cloning my C drive and setting a System Restore point.

Thanks, Scott. I'm making a restore point now just in case the uninstall does not go well.

RickJ,

I have only just installed it. Can you tell me why you want to uninstall it? Just wondering if I should expect problems.

I rarely use IE anymore - but am so used to the old layout and features that I just don't want to "get used to" something different.

I use Firefox for surfing and only use IE for testing how things look when I'm making or updating a website.
