TSGL: Remove the New IE beta 8.1???

[Henry Stevenson]

Ron,

Thanks for your help.   I tried after you suggested it
but my system still thinks a more recent version is on
my PC.    I was using IE 7 before upgrading and really
did not like it either.    It is looking more and more
like I will have to do a system restore and just make
sure that when I do up dates that 7 does not sneak
back.   I would like to use IE 6.2.  Frankly I use
Firefox most of the time but occasionally you need IE.

Thanks again,

Henry
