You won't like the answer to that one! Microsoft just pulled the wool over the eyes with the beta version of IE 7.0 and WMP 11. The only thing you can attempt is to go into the Control Panel's "add/remove programs" and click on the Windows components seen on the left side there to uncheck IE and Outlook Express. Hopefully you will have better results then many have already found out when trying to reverse to IE 6. Are you seeing "about blank" coming up when closing a window after browsing folders on your hard drive? That's one annoyance to see an IE window come up right then when closing a Windows Explorer window. That can make you boiling mad! Give that a try or face... ? with one file missing here reinstalling Windows?!
