Does anyone know how to remove IE 6.0? I have tried the add/remove programs and well it only gives me the option to repair or add components. I need to go back to IE 5.5 and it wont even let me select to restore previous config.

Please help!!
Thanks in advance

I have also tried this one too, but it doesnt do anything. I select to restore it to the previous config and it does nothing, not even ask me to restart??

Thanks for the input though!

IE 6 piggybacks on all other previous versions of IE. In order to fix the problem you have to uninstall or delete all of the previous versions. Find some CD you have that has at least IE 5 on it and do a clean install. Then go to Windows Download and intall the updates. You can go in Windows Explorer and rename the update file so it will not unintall. Afer loading IE5 put the file back in that folder and start reinstalling them.
Thank you Bill Gates for updating files onto files so you can't just get rid of one version, but must get rid of them all.

Make sure you copy the Favorites Files to reinstall later.Thank you Bill Gates for updating files onto files so you can't just get rid of one version, but must get rid of them all.
