Anyone know how to downgrade back to IE6 from IE7? I have tried removing it
from Add/Remove Programs (it's not listed in there). I have tried
uninstalling/reinstalling Windows Components (still no go).

So why isn't there some easy way to remove it? I don't like a number of the
"functionalities" of it as this time.

You'll have to do a clean install of Windows.

Perhaps you shouldn't be testing beta software if you're not prepared to
deal with it.

Hi,
Beta testing is never without risks.
But, try this...
Go back to Add or Remove Programs, check the Show Updates box at the top.
Does IE7 show up in the list? If that doesn't work you will probably have to
reinstall the OS.

Hope this helps,

Ted,

I realize this. I didn't just start beta testing yesterday. But MS needs
to learn that if they are going to do a beta they should try to offer a way
to uninstall / downgrade.

On the contrary: Every beta tester knows not to install a beta product on a
production machine, so uninstall is not a consideration.

It's been about 2 months and I can't remember where exactly I got it. Thanks.

Did I say it was a production machine? I was just trying to save myself some
time. But anyway what's it matter this is the internet and it's not worth
discussing any longer.

May we assume you're not an official beta tester or MSDN subscriber?

Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for. I forgot it could have
been listed under there.
