How do I go back to IE6

While surfing, I made the big mistake of clicking a message to upgrade to
IE7. I absolutely hate it. How can I go back to my tried and true IE6?

Re: How do I go back to IE6

Will a removal of IE7 by this method bring back IE6? My machine uses XP.
IE6 was included with the OS from Dell when I purchased it in early 2007

Removing IE7 brings you back to IE6.

Re: How do I go back to IE6

Bruce and Vanguard,
Thanks for the advice. I'm back on IE6 and loving it. No more updates for
me. Someone once wrote that the grass is not always greener on the other
side of the fence. This statement holds true when it pertains to software
upgrades.

I also found the other posts from a year or so ago discussing going back.
Those were also helpful.

Thanks Again!!

Re: How do I go back to IE6

The grass may or may not be greener, but the security is much stronger
on the IE 7 side of the fence. That's what matters to me.
