[Guest]

Had a user install beta2 IE7. As admin I cannot uninstall it. Is tehre some
other way to uninstall this non-functional beta or should I just forget about
it and got to Firefox?

Hi,
Look for "I'm told I need to be the same user to uninstall but I am the same
user." It's not too far from the top of the page at

Hope this helps,

Open Regedit and go to the key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

Right click on Internet Explorer and choose New String Value. Name that
value
InstalledByUser (the value of the new String should be your User Account
name)
Now try to uninstall IE7 via Add/Remove Programs.
