Yes it does and yes it will.  In fact it took me two installs and didn't work right in between.\n\nWait until they get the bugs worked out, it's not worth it yet.  I had the beta version and it worked better than the actual.  See if you can find that.

download IE 7 from microsoft.com, or you can restore to IE 6 by using System Restore in Help and Support

Set your automatic updates to "Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them" That way you can pick and choose what updates you want.\n\nOr, you can turn off automatic updates completely. If you do this , just remember to visit Windows Update website on the 2nd Tuesday of every month when Microsoft issues their scheduled updates.\n\nIE-7 is a more secure browser than IE-6, which has more security holes then a slice of Swiss cheese. That being said, a 100% patched and updated IE-6 is still a fairly safe browser as long as you keep on top of your updating.\n\n Good luck.

If you're talking about IE7, go to Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and scroll down to Windows Internet Explorer 7.  If you're talking about IE6, you really can't remove it, completely that is, because its integrated into Windows.  A lot of programs use the IE rendering engine to display its contents and such when needed.

It is just as simple as going to Add/Remove programs and removing it.  It will automatically roll back to IE 6 afterwards.

It's not too straight forward I'm afraid.\n\nYou need to go to your Add/Remove programs section.\n\nStart > Control Panel > A/R Programs\n\nThen select Add/Remove Windows Components from the left hand menu bar. Here you will see a tick in Internet Explorer. Un-tick it. And press OK. Make sure you have all windows CD's to hand as you may need them at any stage.\n\nRepeat the process to put IE back.

OK - please stop and listen. DO NOT UNINSTALL IE7 (unless of course it is the Yahoo version which is floating around) - you'll be taking your Windows security levels back about ten steps, even if you never use Internet Explorer to surf the web.\n\n\nLet me explain - Internet explorer is extremely integrated into Windows (was first made that way last decade as Microsoft's way of dealing with Netscape!) - which means that all the bugs/flaws inherent to IE6 are all carried right throughout your system. Think of IE7 as a MASSIVE system upgrade, not just a new browser.\n\nIt may take a little getting used to, but is well worth keeping. If you have any messenger applications, these also need to re-installed after installing IE7 - just simply to restore the way they connect to IE to function properly.\n\nIf you need any help here, don't hesitate to shoot me an email - more than happy to help out :-)

Just uninstall it - you'll get IE6 back.  Ver 7 is a pile of rubbish - don't download it again :)

Needless to say that if you go to add remove program you won't see anything. You go to add/remove windows components again there is option to completely uninstall IE but not just IE7.\n\nOk so here is how you do it -\n\nstart->control panel->add remove programs->at the top check "show updates" radio box->scroll down in the list->you will see IE7 listed, uninstall that, restart and you are on IE6

Your current Internet browser does that, so what's your worry.\n\nIE7 gives you the option, during setup, to send info to Microsoft automatically. If you want to, check the box. If not leave the box unchecked.\n\nRemember, there are still many sites and services that still do not support IE7.\n\nI love the Browser, but quit using it because several of the sites and services, I use, don't support it yet. They are working on it, and will support it closer to its final release. They want to wait till most of the bugs are worked out. The fastest way to get rid of the bugs is to let it send back the info, to Microsoft, so they can address it and fix it.\n\nEvery month I download IE7 and check to see if it is supported by my required sites yet. If not, I remove it and and go back to IE6. IE 6 comes back automatically when IE7 is removed.
