just download the latest version of Internet Explorer 6.0 from the microsoft website, and start the installer. It will repair your version of the browser.\n\nAs far as removing is concerned, Microsoft Windows OS is based heavily on the IE, so sorry to say, but you cannot remove the program entirely, but yes, you can set another browser as default program.\nGot to Control Program -> Add/Remove program -> Set default programs and in the Internet Browser selection choose your new browser.

Exactly, lots of people are having trouble with IE7.   So don't do it.  \n\nYou might try to use the Windows Update feature.  Pick Custom, so you can see it in the list of critical updates.   \n\nIf you do not like IE7 when you are done, here are the instructions to remove it.\n\nUninstalling Internet Explorer 7\n\nTo uninstall Internet Explorer 7 and restore Internet Explorer 6 when using Windows XP or Windows Server 2003\n\n1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.\n2. Click Add or Remove Programs.\n3. You might have to CHECK the box that says SHOW UPDATES\n4. Scroll down to Windows Internet Explorer 7, click it, and then click Change/Remove.\n\nIf you cannot find Internet Explorer 7 in Add or Remove Programs, click Start, click Run, type \n%windir%&#92;ie7 &#92;spuninst&#92;spuninst.exe\n(I added a space after ie7 so you could see the whole line)\nand then press ENTER.\n\nFor more information, check this page at the Microsoft website. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/aa740486.aspx\n\nIf you have further trouble, you might try the RESTORE thing in the System Tools folder and go back a few days before you made this terrible mistake.\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

I don't think you can permanently get rid of IE from your windows.  You can just delete it from all visible areas, but uninstalling is not possible as far as i know.  Still if you want to do Microsoft updates manually or some other downloads from Microsoft, it is only possible from IE.  Apart from that some secured sites like of some banks still are fully dedicated to IE and Firefox won't support.\n\nI advise you to delete it from desktop, quick launch, start menu to totally avoid using it.  If in some case you want to restore it, you can right click on desktop\n\nProperties/Desktop/Customize Desktop/Put a tick on IE\n\nThis will bring IE icon back to desktop and you can use it on a temporary basis.

Unistalling IE will make  a windows OS unusable. Do not unistall it, just let it sit there and be happy. You can delete the Desktop Shortcut, Just dont Unistall IE becuase windows uses IE, Explorer to browse Files and Folders inside your PC. Windows Explorer is part of IE and IE is part of Windows Explorer. The Search for Files or Folders uses the Windows Browser, all systems use a Browser. sorta.

There are two ways to uninstall the Yahoo! Toolbar for Internet Explorer.\n\nOption 1: via the Toolbar\n\n    * Select "Uninstall" from the Pencil button (Toolbar Settings).\n    * Click "Uninstall" on the uninstall page.\n    * Close any open IE windows \n\nWhen you restart Internet Explorer, Toolbar will no longer be present.\n\nOption 2: via Control Panel\n\n    * Click on the Windows "Start" button\n    * Select "Control Panel" from the "Settings" menu\n    * Double-click on "Add/Remove Programs"\n    * Scroll down and click on the "Yahoo! Toolbar" entry\n    * Click on "Change/Remove"\n    * Close any open IE windows \n\nYahoo! Toolbar is now uninstalled. Start IE again after closing all your open IE browser windows and it will no longer be present.\n\nIf you follow these steps and Yahoo! Toolbar is still present, make sure you have closed all your open IE browser windows. Due to Internet Explorer being integrated with Windows, you may need to restart your computer to fully uninstall Yahoo! Toolbar.\n\nIf you like the functionality of Yahoo! Toolbar, instead of removing Yahoo! Toolbar, you can hide Yahoo! Toolbar or move Yahoo! Toolbar so that it takes up less space in your browser.

You can uninstall it but you are going to be required by Microsoft to get it very soon.  IE6 is being done away with and Microsoft will force IE7 on everyone via their updates utility.\n\nIf you still want to delete it:\n\nStart > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs\n\nAt the top of the window check the box to Show All Updates\n\nLet the "updates" list load and then find IE7 and uninstall it.\n\nIt will revert to IE6 however temporarily.\n\nGood Luck.

Hey...\n\nU need to upgrade your operating system to Windows XP SP2 in order to be able to install Internet Explorer 7.0 (BETA) in ur machine. To do that, U can download Windows XP SP2 from the following link:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=049c9dbe-3b8e-4f30-8245-9e368d3cdb5a&DisplayLang=en\n\nHowever, if u use a dial up and think u cant afford downloading a 266MB file, you can also order SP2 in a CD from Microsoft. In order to order the CD, just visit the following link:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx\n\nNow, to install IE7, just download it from :\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/ie7/ie7betaredirect.mspx\nand then I'm sure u shall be able to install it in ur computer. If you still do happen to come across any more problems, do let me know.\n\nOh by the way, the above link that u've provided, doesn't work. It just takes me to Imageshack homepage.\n\nAnd well, if you want a good browser that's intuitive, easy to use and also has your fav feature, that is, tabbed browsing...then I must seggest two free browsers that have been in the market for quite a while and their share has been rising faster than ever before. Personally I hate using IE. Anyways, here are the 2 browsers and the links from where u can download them:\n\nMozilla FireFox 1.5:\nAbout the Browser - http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/\nDownload Link - http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-1.5.0.2&os=win&lang=en-US\n\nOpera 8.5:\nAbout the Browser - http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/\nDownload Link - http://www.opera.com/download/get.pl?id=27762\n\nTrust me, these 2 li'l browsers are gonna save you a lot of hassle. And moreover, always remember, IE7 is a Beta version, as of now. And Beta versions can never be fully trusted. They're expected to crash and act weirdly just about any time even by their manufacturers!! So, do choose wisely!!!

Good question! But there's a simple solution.\nUse Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. You won't see Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview for you to uninstall, so to make it visible, make sure "Show Updates" is checked under "Windows XP - Software Updates"
