I have Windows XP Pro SP2.

Internet Explorer 7 is causing me some problems when I try to download some files from my company.

I would like to revert back to IE6.

Can someone tell me how I can un-install IE7 and get IE6 back?

Thanks.

Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, Windows Internet Explorer 7
 
Else for a more complete un-install. Start in safe mode and return back to a waypoint prior to the installation.
 
Thanks.

I un-installed IE7 last night.

The first thing it did was show a list of files that were installed after IE7 was installed, and said some of them might not work after the install. There were a lot of security updates in the list. Scare tactic?

I clicked Yes anyway, and after a reboot, IE6 re-appeared like magic.

This was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

Thanks again, everyone.
