Having installed IE6 I decided to revert to 5.5xx only to find that my system still thinks IE6 is running - all tests show 6 but if I view help tab when browser open it show build 5.5xxx - why please?

Also IE 5.5 has the problem of opening blank browsers from links - these work fine if I copy and past short cut.

Not enough info given to determine why this problem may exist.
The registry setting may still be overiding the restore to IE 5.5 which may be the reason you can still see,run a fix from the Add/Remove Programs to see if this will help.

The second part of your question may be caused by the java script of IE,

Using the Add/Remove programs,select IE from the list and in the pop up window choose to restore to previous version of IE,this should correct the problem of what version is listed.
If you would like to start from scratch,go to web and download IERadicator utility to wipe IE from computer and then do a reinstall
