Restoring original IE6 settings

[pm957]

I recently switched to DSL service with earthlink, and their
installation disk overwrote IE6 with one "provided by earthlink" (same
with Outlook Express). The search settings have also been changed.
How can I get rid of this version and go back to Microsoft IE6? I am
running Windows XP, SP2.

Go to Start | Run and type:
rundll32.exe iedkcs32.dll,Clear or
rundll32.exe Iedkcs32.dll, BrandCleanInstallStubs
