How Do I Get Internet Explorer 6 Back Instead of Internet Explorer 7?
While the purpose of upgrading your web browser is to get new and improved features, sometimes users are not satisfied with the changes. If you are using Internet Explorer 7 and would like to return to Internet Explorer 6, Microsoft makes it easy to revert back to the previous version. When you remove your current version of Internet Explorer, the previous version is automatically restored on your system. If you had IE 6 before you upgraded to IE 7, all you have to do is remove the newer version to get IE 6 back.
