IE7 ... bad idea

[=sgt=]

I had installed IE7 and decided I didn't like it...so, I uninstalled
it. Don't know what has happened to my system, but now none of my IE
desktop links will work. If I can get them to 'open', they open in
notepad.

My Norton's Systemworks opens up BLANK...and...I keep getting this
error message with just about anything I try:

"The procedure entry point InternetGetSecurityInfoByUrlW could not be
located in the dynamic link library WININET.dll"

Does anyone have any idea what this is about? I really don't want to
have to reformat!

1. Good idea

Buy a 2nd harddisk, re-install Windows, copy data from old harddisk to
the new one. Now you have a back up.

2. Bad Idea

IE7 support issues should be directed to the internet explorer
newsgroup. Maybe someone there has dealt with this issue. Here is a
list of MS public newsgroups:

1. IE 7 is BETA so of course you put in on a test system as recommended.
So, contack the Author of the BETA ware you've installed for the fix, or
reformat yout TEST system.
