IE 7 won't go away!
I downloaded the Internet Explorer 7 beta and now I can't get rid of it. Does anybody know how I can go back to IE 6?

I thought most people knew that MS doesn't like for you to be able to remove anything of theirs.

They have a link to a remover as well as instructions.

For exactly this reason I haven't installed ie7 yet. Will have to in the near future though, to start testing *cough* see what new bugs I'll have to deal with. I hope some clever person will build a nice complete package of all ie-versions (5?, 5.5, 6.0, 7) which can be safely used seperately. Just as it is now with the standalone 5/5.5 package.
Pff, I don't want to think about the mess we're going to get when 1) some bugs are fixed 2) some not 3) some bugfixes will mess up "hacks" or workarounds used before to fix the earlier bugs 4) some earlier workarounds will introduce new bugs. I'm really looking forward to go back to all sites and testing them again. I haven't anything else to do
As it seems at the moment, the probability of this scenario becoming true is large.

It is very easy to remove. Just go to add/remove programs and remove. I am now back on IE6 with no problems. I would of kept IE7, but it was still a little buggy.Maugrim_The_Reaper wrote:I keep waiting for the EU to start landing MS with extra distribution conditions.

IE7 is still Beta - I'm a bit surprised they didn't allow its easy removal given that small factoid.
