How to have both Ie7and Ie6 on your computer
Came across this today

Here is the intructions for installing IE7 as a standalone browser apart from IE6. Thus keeping both on your computer.

1.) Create an IE7 folder on your desktop. Download and extract the exe to this folder (In XP, I right clicked on the *.exe and told it to "extract here". I am sure Winzip or WinRAR will do the same thing if you want to use that.)

2.) Delete the UPDATE subfolder that formed under the IE7 folder that you made.

3.) Delete the shlwapi.dll in the IE7 folder that you made and extracted the IE7.EXE to.

4.) Create a BLANK FILE called IEXPLORE.exe.local with notepad.exe and putting it into the In the IE7 folder that you made and extracted the IE7.EXE to.

5) click on Explorer.exe in the IE7 folder that you made and extracted the IE7.exe to run

however dont know if it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's from http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=re...tf9Ne_9Gt7marQ

It says it's for IE6 and IE7 Beta, so it might not work with IE7.
