    Hi

    Ok before you ask, the reason I want to use IE5.0 (albeit temporarily) is to test some java. I do not want to reinstall windows!!

    OS is Windows 2000 Professional which comes with IE5.0 by default.

    It had IE6.0 on it. I uninstalled IE6.0 as follows:
    cd Program Files
    cd Internet Explorer
    cd IE Uninstall
    w2excp.exe /u
    rebooted machine.

    IE was restored to IE5.0. I then upgrade to IE5.5 and did my testing. Then told I needed to test IE5.0 as well (could have been told that from the start but there ye go).

    In Control Panel -> Add/Remove Program I only get Repair option when I go to removed IE5.5.

    So.....does anybody know of a way to uninstall IE5.5 and go back to default IE5.0?
    I looked for an uninstall exe but could not find any. Is there a registry setting which would enable some of the greyed out option in Add/Remove Program for IE5.5?

    Again, would prefer not to reinstall windows.......last resort really!!
