When I remove IE 7 will IE 6 automaticly be there?

Question

I think the answer is, yes, because I haven't removed it or deleted it in any way, but just need to hear it from someone else. Still a little nervous about some of these things. Thanks for your help. GranEEKandoooo

Not to worry. Why do you want to uninstall IE7? I'm no expert and so far am not having a problem with it. Just carefully review all the buttons and options. Things were just moved around a bit.

Answer 2

You can't go backwards from IE 7, there is no option to do that, sorry. If you don't like it I recommend going to Firefox, it looks more like IE 6, runs great and fast, and is generally a good browser.

Answer 3

guy...why are all you people setting up IE7? Who the hell advised you to finish that? it really is the 10th question about IE immediately I have replied. All of you're regretting it after the reality. you may not uninstall it or revert again. attempt gadget restore and see if that works.

Answer 4

No it won't, you must go to the microsoft website, get an IE6 installer, and then uninstall IE7. Why do you want IE6 instead of IE7 though? IE7 is much more secure. I use Firefox, which in my opinion, is better than both.

Answer 5

The Humble One is RIGHT!! you can uninstall 7, and when it does, it will go back to 6. I have done this also and it works.

Answer 6

If IE6 didn't work, run IE6 installer

Answer 7
