Sorry!
Sorry you're having trouble and/or not liking it! I think it's great and a lot more like FireFox, which many people prefer.
Do you need some help?
To uninstall you probably have to go into My Computer, then Add/Remove Programs,click on Check Updates and delete it there. I know some people who just didn't like it, removed it and their computer automatically went back to the previous version. Your favorites and all that should be fine.

Why are you sorry?
I spend time on computer forums from time to time and have heard about a lot of unhappy people.
I ran the beta 2 for months with no problems and downloaded the updated version with no problems though.
Of course I almost never use it instead using firefox. If you don't have it you should try it. It's nice having two browsers anyway since some sites don't work with some browsers. Not real common these days though.
Of course Firefox can also view a site in IE mode which is the same as using explorer. Plus you get to pick your own styles which I like.

I usually use Firefox but keep IE7 updated in case I need to access a site that doesn't like the Fox. I have a hard time finding any of the normal controls- like <help>. If you have run any security updates since installing IE7, there may be conflicts rolling it back.

i have to say i finally d/l IE7 yesterday and i'm not having any problems with it. until i got the highspeed plugin for my ISP i used firefox but the highspeed thing only works with IE so i have to stick with IE to take advantage of the little bit of speed enhancement i can get (not having broadband access here).
what's the nature of your problem?

How do I get rid of it? I didn't see an uninstall option
Baby, L O V E your Avatar but more on that later.
I used Google to search for uninstall procedures and this one works on my laptop.
On my machine it was listed as:
Windows Internet Explorer 7
If all of your updates are not current I suggest you install all of them and see if that cures the problem. If they are current you may want to uninstall then reinstall in case something didn't load correctly the first time.
Personally I don't like IE7 but you that is my problem. I use "Maxthon".
Here is the procedure:
1. Go to Control Panel
2. Click Add or Remove Programs
3. Click Show Updates checkbox <<<<<<<<<
4. Click whatever version of IE7 you have. For example "Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview"
5. Click the Change/Remove button
It is later . . . I would love to "lick here" baby

On the tab bar, right-click anywhere other than directly on the tabs, for instance, the home or printer icons. If unchecked, select "Menu Bar." The traditional windows "File Edit View Favorites Tools Help" menu bar will the appear (under the location bar). You'll then have your usual access controls.
IE7 is at least a little better than IE6 and with all the security issues with IE6, I'd really advise not removing IE7. If you really don't like it, try a different browser. I use Firefox because I like certain extensions, but Opera is very impressive, both faster and more standards-compliant.

MicroSux can kiss my ass!
I'm a FireFox fan! Never a problem with it, all kinds of upgrades and add-ons to customize it to your likes and needs, easy to delete your internet clutter and trails (unlike IE ), and you don't have to worry about internet hacks accessing your stuff, again, unlike MicroSux crap!

Thanks! Figured it was something easy. I tried Opera but with multiple users on a single desktop it kept eating everyone's profiles. Firefox is not nearly as hungry but still occasionally corrupts a profile after an update.

Internet explorer is the local browser Windows uses to acess files, browse your docs etc so you can't actually remove IE without removing windows. You can remove the IE7 update and or use a different browser online like you do.rydia57 said:I have IE on my computer, but I don't use it. I tried uinistalling it once, but there was alot of trouble. IE errors up the yingyang. So, I keep it on the comptuer, but I use Mozilla. Much better.

Thank you everyone!! 
For some reason, IE 7 and the CMS for my online course are not compatible. So when I'd log into my class and try to make changes or add content, the whole thing would start showing weird characters and it would bring up a new window for each action item (does that make sense?). And I couldn't access my work email because of certificate issues.
HOWEVER, I did follow uninstalling suggestions from above. I uninstalled 7 with no problem and am back with 6 point something. I need to try Mozilla! Lots of you seem to be using it with success.
I am very thankful for your help-my desktop seems to have pooped out and so this laptop is my only link to internet sanity! LOL!!!
Did someone mention licking, err I mean liking my av??
