IE 7 came in as an update during the night.  I do NOT like IE7, and want to uninstall it, but don't know how.  Can you help me please?

IE7 should appear in the list of programs in the Add or Remove Programs entry on the Control Panel.
Simply select IE7 from the list of programs and click on the remove button.

Before you uninstall IE7, you may want to download the installation program for whatever browser you are going to replace it with. :)

as a bit of an aside on this one - if anyone has a Hewlett-Packard scanner, they may find - like me and several of my friends - that, AFTER INSTALLING IE 7, the scanner no longer puts up a window, so the only way you can use it is to scan from another programme (e.g. PaintSop Pro).

Uninstalling IE7 fixes this, and, incidentally, will default to IE 6.

I'm not a big fan of IE7 and still prefer to use Firefox. I have however "upgraded" to IE7 even though I have no intention of using it. IE7 actually changes a lot more than is first realised and is an integral part of Windows security. Not installing IE7 may leave users exposed to unnecessary risks or may even prevent the installation of future security upgrades.

So my advice is to install IE7 but don't use it -- install a better browser
