I have a Windows NT 4.0 SP5 Workstation with Internet Explorer 4 that was factory installed on it. When I try to uninstall it, it tells me I only have the choice to add more compents or restore to original desktop, not to remove it completely. I need to be able to remove it completely in order to remove SP5 and get it down to SP4. Once at that level I will install some costum software that requires no higher than SP4 to install. Once I am able to install this SW I will reinstall the SP's to SP6a and reinstall IE 6. But I can't do any of this until I remove IE 4. When I try to uninstall SP5 it says I need to uninstall IE 4 first. I'm just going in circles with this. I realize the fix may be a reg hack, which will not be a problem as long asit gives me results.

Thanks in advance.

You should select the "restore original desktop" selection. This doesn't completely remove IE, but it should get you back to the original version that came with NT (3.something I think). Hope this helps!
