Do a system restore on Windows. Set your settings back to a few days prior to when you installed IE 7. I know, because I did this as well. Click on the Start Menu and then Help.

Method 2: Run the Spuninst.exe program that is in the IE7 folder
If you cannot uninstall Internet Explorer 7 by using Method 1, use the uninstaller file that is available in the IE7 folder to uninstall Internet Explorer 7. To do this, follow these steps:1. Click Start, click Run, type %windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe, and then click OK.
Note In this command, %windir% points to the Drive:\Windows folder. The placeholder Drive represents the hard disk partition that contains the Windows operating system files.
By default, the IE7 folder is a hidden folder. Therefore, you may have to make this folder visible. To do this, follow these steps: a. Open Windows Explorer.
b. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
c. Click the View tab.
d. In the Advanced settings list, under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders, and then click OK.
2. Follow the wizard instructions to uninstall Internet Explorer 7.
3. After you uninstall Internet Explorer 7, double-click the Internet Explorer icon to verify that Internet Explorer 6 is restored.

You don't need to use system restore. Simply go to to control panel, and then go to add/remove programs. Scroll through until you find internet explorer 7, then click it, and hit the remove button. You will need to restart your computer, after which it will copy back over the internet explorer 6 files, and you will be able to again browse the internet with ie 6!

Just go to the control panel in windows, and select add/remove programs. You then look for Internet Explorer 7 and then click on the Remove button.

Go into Add-Remove programs and delete IE 7, then reboot, and IE6 will come back automatically.

You can try going to Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel. You should be able to go back to the old version that way. Note that IE7 might be listed under Windows Components.
