What a piece of crap IE7 is, compared to IE6. None of the default icons are intuitive IMHO.
I haven't attempted to "customise" it, all I want to do is downgrade back to IE6 which did everything I required.
Sometimes, progress is backwards. BUGGA!

Well, surprise, surprise.
Microsoft couldn't have been confident with their own product either.
I did a search of their knowledge base on IE7 and they have provided a "How to uninstall IE7 procedure".
The first way is via the Add/Remove Programs feature and this worked successfully on one of my Notebooks. (Only two more machines to go)
If this process doesn't work a second way is to run the Spuninst.exe program contained in the IE7 folder. (You may have to change Windows settings to display hidden files and folders)
Obviously, a third way under Windows XP is to perform a Restore to an earlier configuration but in my case I didn't want to go back so far.
After running the uninstall, there is no need to do anything else as Windows will still contain IE6 which I am much more comfortable with.
So all is not lost, I am now productive again.
