I can't uninstall Internet Explorer 7 out of Add/Remove Programs because I hate it!
I want to put IE 6 back on, but how do I do it? when I can't remove 7?

Can anyone help me?

Do you have a copy of IE 6 stored on the hard drive? You will need to download a copy of that first and then go into the add/remove Windows components in the control panel to remove any IE listing there. Once that is done you go to the IE 6 download and run that installer. You can download a fresh copy of IE 6 at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...cb-5e5d-48f5-b02b-20b602228de6&DisplayLang=en

"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. "

For the 74MB download of IE6, try this: http://browsers.evolt.org/download.php?/ie/32bit/6.0/ie60.exe

You don't have to check the updates box at the top of the add/remove if you just downloaded and installed the finished release that came out a week or so ago. The show updates simply lists the security fixes and Windows validation tools that have been installed. The finished IE 7 will be seen above the last update section there.

If you have a beta version you have to remove the entire IE setup by through the Windows setup "add/remove Windows components" due to the problems seen in removing it. You would have to remove IE 6 as well in order to install IE 6 fresh.
