Re: Deleting IE 6 SP1 In ORder to reinstall

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I will try to clarify...

It is my home computer. Since IE 6 SP1 is a standard load for my work
computer, and since I only had dialup at home, I decided to install the IE 6
SP1 that is available at work onto my home computer. What I didn't realize is
that certain security aspects were disabled by my company, and I cannot chage
them at home. What I would like to do is completely remove the "work version"
I have ,and install a clean, unchanged version of IE 6. But as I stated, I
cannot seem to remove the IE I have installed- it does not show up in
add/remove programs, but it is still there. I also added SBC Yahoo DSL in the
last week, so I don't know how that impacts IE; it has its own "modified"
version of IE. Clear as mud, right? Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Greg
