I have Windows XP service pack 2, and hate IE7. I was stupid when I
installed IE7, there was an option to delete all of IE6, and I checked "yes".
I would love to redownload IE6 for windows XP service pack 2-does anyone
have any suggestions??? I know I could restore my computer back to before
IE7, but was hopeing for a website link to download IE6 instead (would be
much easier). thanks

Hello,

normally, when you just uninstall IE 7, IE 6 is restored again. So this should be enough.
