I want to dump IE7 and I want to know the easiest way to do it.

[PlanetBev]

I'm sorry I downloaded Windows Explorer 7 and I would like to dump it. A friend of mine told me all I have to do is send the older version in my "C" drive to the desk top, drag the Version 7 icon to the recycle bin and dump the trash. My guess is that is might be a little more complicated than that.

What's the best way? A lot of this technical stuff is way beyond me.

Thanks for any help.

1. Get a new computer?

2. Kinda got the same problem.

When I first started using the firefox browser not all websites supported it, so I kept IE around.
Now I think they all do.
I think you have to go into 'add/remove programs'.
I was gonna do that but got some kind of cautionary warning that it might affect other programs I was using.
I chickened out.
Maybe one of our computer gurus will check in.

10. Trof, I do that a lot, too...chicken out

Then once and a while I get up the courage to download or delete stuff and end up clusterfucking myself.

So now, I just chicken out or roll up into a fetal position.

6. That's how I feel. Sometimes I'd like to take it out and shoot it.

Having a computer and DU enabled me to stay sane for the last six years of Bushco, but sometimes I want to disconnect from all things electronic and go live in the woods in a teepee.

4. download firefox and just dont use IE

14. I'll second that.

7. I'd be really surprised if that's even possible

You upgraded to IE7 using Windows Update, I expect. Unless that provides you with a 'revert to previous version' option, you're probably screwed.

11. Well I'll be a monkey's uncle

8. SIMPLE

add/remove programs and remove it. you will automatically revert back to IE 6

12. Thank, Matcom

I can do that. I just needed a simple answer like that...I'm 56 and my brain cells are dying faster than they're being replaced.

13. not to worry.

i just removed it from about 4 computers here at the office (not compatible with our industry software)

i can't believe it IS that simple but it really is. you'll have to restart once is all

15. I'd do what LSK said: Dump IE altogether and just use Firefox.

Or Opera, even. Anything but IE.
