How to Go Back to Explorer 7 From Ie8 in Windows Vista

Many users, however, find that on occasion IE8 will cause errors or instability in certain programs or in Windows Vista itself. If this happens -- or if you find you simply prefer the older version of IE7 to the newer IE8 -- you have the option of "rolling back" Internet Explorer 8 to the older IE7.
