Woot turns out it's an easy fix.

Start - Run - regedit

HKCU,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

Add a new string, name it InstalledByUser
Give it the value 0x10001

Run the uninstaller - it will note that this will break your computer, but that is lies, it works fine.
Reboot.
IE6 is back.

No lame system restore required.

Or just check the "show updates" option at the top of the add or remove programs screen and you can remove it from there.

@Flying Dutchmen: If you had seen the previous thread, you'd know that this was for people who only had a partial installation and therefore couldn't remove it.

It would also be for those who had problems with the real uninstaller.

I'm still stuck. After setting the reg key, I still don't see Internet Explorer 7 in the Add/Remove Programs list.

Would you confirm the value of the reg key? What else could be wrong?

@scruzphreak: Did you check the "Show updates" setting at the top of the Add/Remvoe Programs dialog, and then scroll to the corresponding sublist of "Windows XP - Software Updates"?

IN all honesty, I just do not see why people install such a program like BETA IE7 on their machines - then complain they can't remove it....its beta. sure we all like to try out new stuff, which is good, but surely you're risking alot
