Lockergnome reported that the IE 7 Beta Preview has been released. Unsurprisingly, people are talking about it (a few slams, of course) in many places. Some people may have downloaded it and installed it, forgetting that newer versions of IE always take over past versions. Thanks to several excellent resources, it’s possible to uninstall IE 7 and run it separately without losing IE 6.

To remove IE 7 (Thanks, Techenclave):

Click Start / Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs.

Check “Show updates” radio box.

Scroll down the list to find Internet Explorer 7 and click Uninstall.

Restart and IE 6 is back where it was before IE 7 swallowed it up.

Instructions for running BOTH IE 6 and IE 7 here.
