re: ie7 problems being addressed Tuesday, February 27, 2007 at 4:40 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by bwhiz (166 messages posted) Because of the many problems associated with IE7. I would recommend that you remove IE7. Just use "Add or Remove Programs" in Control Panel and look for "Windows IE7" (toward the bottom of the list) and select "Remove". IE7 will then be removed and automatically replaced with IE6 with no loss of settings. THEN, go to the MS update page and check for updates, IE7 will be there again . This time select the option to "Hide this update etc" If you don't then it will automatically download again, as it is now in the "High-Priority" section. (If you use Automatic Updates) then you may want to disable this first. Just-in-case it downloads again before you hide it. *************************** Although there is a download from MS. Instructions here from MS how to remove it. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/support/default.mspx But , after reading carefully the info from the MS Blocker Q&A sheet. The better option in the long term is still to:- "Go back to MS update page and check the box to hide the update in the future" Reason: Whilst the MS Blocker tool will stop the automatic download of IE7 as a High-Priority download, it will not stop it still being shown as an optional download. Therefore could still possibly be downloaded again by accident. At least by hiding it, then it would have to be physically un-checked from the hidden options before it could be downloaded again.
