Replace IE7 with IE6?

Don't like IE7, not nearly as good and interface as IE6. Is there a way to
uninstall IE7 from Vista and replace with IE6?

IE7 and its UI(s) are not that hard to use. The interfaces are the same but
are moved around a bit. It's not a big deal.

Re: Replace IE7 with IE6?

Hi Jim,

If you have Vista as your Operating System, IE7 is the only Microsoft
Browser that you can use.

You can install other third-party browsers such as Firefox, however, and use
IE7 only when you have to, such as the times that you need to download
updates from the Microsoft website.

Oh, one other thing to be pointed out.

<snipped>

One more note - VPC 2004 doesn’t run on Windows Vista, but this image will
work fine with VPC 2007, which is in beta now. You can get this free beta
via Connect.

Yes I see, which is based on the link I provided about virtual PC 2007 to
the OP.

Maybe, I should have done a <copied> instead of a <snipped> from another
source.

IE7 is part of the OS. It's not a separate utility that can be removed.
Use Firefox for browsing if you dont like IE7. You'll really like
Firefox after a few days.
