How do i unload IE 7?

Here is the smallest guide you will ever get



Incase you had installed IE7beta 1 (the exclusive review of which we did here) and now are sick of it (in which case i might add you are not a minority) or if you want to make use of windows update(Windows Update can't seem to properly render on IE7beta1) then here is a small easy way for you to uninstall IE7 and get back to good old IE6 (hmm ok remove that good part )



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.



Ok so here is how you do it -



start-%26gt;control panel-%26gt;add remove programs-%26gt;at the top check "show updates" radio box-%26gt;scroll down in the list-%26gt;you will see IE7 listed, uninstall that, restart and you are on IE6



Now go back to opera/ff



---------------



Manual Uninstall :



Remember for Beta 1 you need to click on show updates to see the IE 7 uninstall entry in add/remove programs.



For Beta 2 %26amp; later you can see the IE 7 uninstall entry as a standalone entry, no show updates required here.



If you dont see the uninstall entires even after following the above steps then do the following -



Go to Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/View - Enable the Show Hidden Files and Folders.



Go to Start Menu/Run paste the following code %26amp; press enter(check the exact path in your windows folder)



%windir%\$NtUninstallie7bet2p$\spunins... xe



OR



%windir%\$NtUninstallie7bet2$\spuninst... e



OR



%windir%\ie7beta3\spuninst\spuninst.ex...



One other way to do is to manually navigate to the path shown above and click on spuninst.exe.
