Side-by-side mode

[JD]

My IE v6 has somehow been modified. When I do help/about it shows that the
browser is running in side-by-side compatability mode with some enhanced
features disabled.

How do I get ride of side-by-side mode?

Thanks, but I've already done the Google bit. I really don't see anything
relevant in any of those links ...

Henri, what do you think of this?

This search of Google Groups gives one matching thread from 1999 in
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4 that shows how to remove IE4
side-by-side compatibililty mode from IE5.

Perhaps the method could somehow be modified to work with IE6? If not,
perhaps they could "go back to" IE5 (whatever that entails and IF they
ever have had it installed), remove compatibility mode from IE5 by using
the method in the thread, and then reinstall IE6?

Here's a copy of the text of that thread:

It is a known problem. If you really want to get rid of IE 4
compatibilty mode, try to remove it manually.

To manually remove Internet Explorer 4.0 Compatibility Mode, follow
these steps:
1.Delete the "Internet Explorer-4 Compatible" folder and its contents.

2.Use Registry Editor to delete the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Compatibility
Mode
Delete the "Previous Internet Explorer Ver. 4" shortcut icon from the
Internet Explorer folder on the Start menu.

3.Run the Internet Explorer 5.0 Repair Tool in Add/Remove Programs.

I have IE4 installed in "side-by-side" mode--which means that I also have
IE5 installed on my machine. I would like to now get rid of IE4, but I
can't seem to find a way to do it except by completely uninstalling and then
reinstalling IE5. Is there any way to uninstall IE4 side-by-side edition
while leaving IE5 intact?

Much obliged,
Chris Czerwonka

No longer available with IE 6. If you need to check various versions you
must install windows and a previous versions of IE in a separate partition
on the computer or used an other computer with the other version of I.E.

I assume you mean side-by-side compatability mode is no longer available
with IE6? OK. I have IE6 installed on an XP system. No other version of
IE has ever been installed. However, recently something changed IE6 so
that it will not run other than in side-by-side mode.
