Click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > scroll down and find Internet Explorer 7 and click on it to highlight it and give you the remove option and click Remove. It will automatically revert back to Internet Explorer 6. It won't delete your bookmarks.

This may sound strange, but bear with me.
Firefox is an alternative to Internet Explorer and it will copy over your bookmarks when you install it.

Once you have them copied, you can revert IE to 6, but your bookmarks will be safe.
I'd suggest trying Firefox for about a week, you may find yourself really liking it.
Once you have IE6 back, go into Firefox, click on "Bookmarks", then "Manage Bookmarks". In there click "File" then "Export...". It'll save it to your desktop.
Once that's done, load up IE, drag and drop the file from your desktop into IE, and choose to save each one.
No... IE doesn't have an "Import Bookmarks"... What a royal pain!
But Firefox does... seriously consider keeping Firefox...
Free, fast, a small 5mb download, Firefox blocks pop-ups and sites from secretly installing programs on your computer. It will copy over your settings from other browsers (cookies, settings, bookmarks). Firefox is powerful too, it's more up-to-date than even IE7 according to the web standards (w3.org).
The main reason I like Firefox is because it's customizable.
Why is customizability important?
Imagine being able to do 2 small things and never seeing a banner ad, flash ad or an iframe ad again? (Remember, pop-ups are already gone)
Imagine being able to pause your computer's music player when the phone rings without having to switch to it?
Firefox puts the power back in your hands!

CLick "Start," and then click "Control Panel."
Click "Add or Remove Programs."
Check "Show Updates" at the top of the dialog box.
Scroll down the list and highlight the version of Internet Explorer 7 that you are running, and then click "Change/Remove."
Uninstall that,restart your PC and you are on IE6

Bookmarks and Favorites are web-based, therefore they should show up on any version if IE.
Hope that helps.

Just to be safe browse to your Favorites folder and make a copy on your desktop and then follow what classic wrote you as an aswer.
