Uninstall IE 7

September 16, 2005 · 1 min read

Those of you wanting to know how to remove this annoying version on IE - click here.

However, if you are as unfortunate as myself, and have had another user has install it (IE 7 beta) on your PC, then you will get this error:

"Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1 cannot be uninstalled from this user account.  Please log on to the same user account from which it was installed and try again."

Even if you belong to the local administrators group.   Brilliant!

*** Update:  For those of you wanting a far superior browser that has none of the IE problems - I strongly recommend FireFox - which I now use all the time.
