Go to control panel, open add/remove programs, then Click the add/remove windows components. then you there should be new window that comes up. it should have folders a dn programs with check marks on the left. uncheck Internet Explorer(s) and then click next then follow the instructions. then after Internet explorer(s) are complety unintalled go to here http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ and download firefox 2 because internet explorer sucks. . . to reinstall IE6, do the oposite of the removal from above (select IE6 check mark) click next and follow the instructions.

I don't think it's possible. You can try downloading and trying to install IE6 but I'm pretty sure it won't go through and you will get a message saying you have a new version installed and the installation won't continue. It's worth a try though. Microsoft.com still has the IE6 setup file.

Stab yourself. If you've lived a good life, you'll go to heaven. It would be there. But then again, you stabbed yourself. So you wouldn't go to heaven. Hmm...
