IE8 popup

I accidentally installed IE8 on one of my Vista computers. Now I receive a popup every time IE starts and I can't make it stop. It tells me of all the really great things IE can do with add ons which I don't want. Clicking it takes me to the Microsoft site which explains these things I don't want.

Is there any way to get rid of this annoying thing? Can I uninstall IE8? Will I then go back to a more usable version of IE?

Re: IE8 popup

Start IE 8.

Go to Tools - Internet Options and change your home page to whatever you want.
