TSGL: Remove the New IE beta 8.1???

[Ron Brunton]

I'm not sure there's any way to return to IE6 since it's no longer supported
and I don't think it's available from MS. In fact, why would you want to?
IE6 was a security nightmare and the best place for it is in the trash. To
install IE7 - not a beta, stable, tab interface, much, much more secure, go
to the IE7 website and download the current version. Then uninstall IE8 and
install IE7. Doing this with Vista was very easy; I don't know about XP SP3.
(Since IE8 is still in beta it wouldn't be part of SP3 although IE7 probably
was.)

It is a new Beta available on the website?

So does anyone know how to get me from 8.1 back to IE 6.2?

Thanks,
