Solution for restoring IE8 to IE7 under XP

 

Internet Explorer 8 Beta has been installed for the first time because of the needs of website development. However, due to compatibility issues, it has to be restored to IE 7, the uninstall option is not directly provided in "Add/delete programs" on my "Control Panel.

As a result, I checked through the Internet and found that more than one person exists in this situation, not only in the XP system, but also in Vista or Windows Server 2008. There are more than one solution. Let's summarize the methods you have provided:

1. Uninstall programs directly from "Add/delete programs". This is the most common method. However, I think this is usually required by anyone who finds the uninstallation method on the Internet;

2. Uninstall from the update program. If your system is xp spx, open "Add/delete programs" in "Control Panel", and select "show update programs" at the top of the Panel ", find the update item for Internet Explorer 8 Beta and delete it;

3. If the above method does not reach the goal, you can try "Add/delete Windows Components" on the left of "Add/delete programs", and then remove the check mark before "Internet Explorer e". Next step. However, this method is strongly not recommended because many programs in Windows depend on Internet Explorer, which permanently deletes Internet Explorer and causes the dependent program to fail to run, the first two methods will roll back Internet Explorer to the previous version;

4. there are other methods similar to 3, that is, using IE Superman (www.hdol.cn/iexiufu/) and 360 security guard built-in "ie Repair Tool" to completely uninstall, however, you need to reinstall an Internet Explorer version after uninstalling it.

5. in fact, there is another effective method, which is also recommended in this article, that is, directly run C:/Windows/IE8/spuninst/spuninst.exe. If you cannot find this file, check whether the hidden attribute is removed;

So far, Internet ipve 8 has been uninstalled. It is automatically restored to IE7.

In addition, if you do not have the Internet Explorer icon on your desktop, how can you re-display the IE icon on the desktop? Method, right-click → properties → desktop → custom, and check the check mark before Internet Explorer. If this option is not available, you need to run "Change Windows Components" in "Add/delete programs" in "Control Panel", and check the check mark in front of Internet Explorer. Next, you can proceed.
