If you are one of those who installed IE 7 BETA 1 and then got a little frustrated every time:

• You open a website with too many cross-scripts and your browser hangs up
• You have 100% CPU utilization every now and then
• You didn't think the RSS reader feature was too much
• You had a few instances of iexplore.exe always running under your processes without any browser window open
• You tried deleting a registry key as mentioned in the IE blog that promised to help you out, but didn't
• You have provided enough feedback to MS now through crash dumps and are now set to wait for the next version, which hopefully will be more stable
• And you don't blame MS at all, because you agreed to install a BETA product

If you were wondering formatting your system is the only option, just read on.

There are multiple options available to get back to good old IE 6:

1. If you were smart enough to set a restore point in Win XP, revert back

2. If you weren't that smart, you still can uninstall IE through the control panel. But hey wait a minute - I can't see IE listed there. Just check on "Show Updates" and under Microsoft Windows XP, you will see Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1.
