You can remove IE7 and restore IE6 using Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs.

Have you actually done this Jim or is it a theoretical 'can be done'? I
tried that and it didn't work for me. It just complained that a later
version was installed and refused to go any further.

Worked for me on an XP machine without a problem. Following the reboot, IE6
was there as it had been while it sounds like you tried to "reinstall" a
version which is not needed.

For added info on installing, etc., see the info at this link:

I have done the same several times. There is, I think, an undiscovered
bug in the IE7 installation program since you can remove and reinstall IE7
and remove problems.
