Remove IE 7

Hi
Can anyone advise how I remove IE 7 and go back to an older version. It doesn't seem to be compatiable for my work's remote site.

    Also consider installing Mozilla Firefox far superior to IE :j this may work without the need to un-install IE7

    Thanks. I did a google search in the end. I thought if I unistalled, it wouldn't revert back to the previous version.

    I've been meaning to look into firefox, I'll give it a go. :beer:

    No, uninstalling WIE7 automatically reverts it back to IE6 (guess I'm not as trustworthy as google :rolleyes:). I use WIE7 as my default browser but I have firefox and opera intalled as well. No problems switching between them whenever you want without any un/installation.

    ???? Never heard that, I've never had a problem with any of my music. :confused:
    Admittedly I don't download illegal copies if that's what it interferes with, but then people shouldn't do that anyway. :D
