    Default internet explorer 8.0


    I do not care for the internet explorer 8.0 that I download. How do I go back to using the previous version? Also the new version will not let me completely delete browsing history. It still brings up a huge window of similar pages when i start typing something in the search window. I tried to go under tools where the option use to be and it is not there so then I found one under the safety button but it will not let me delete all like the old version would? Can anyone help

    You have to make sure hidden files are viewable and then you can find a folder called ie8. In there is a folder called spuninst or something. In that folder is the uninstall for ie8. Download Firefox and you won't regret it.

    Googled this:

    How to show hidden files in Windows 7

    It is for Windows 7. Do not know what you have.

    And for XP:

    I totally agree! Go with Firefox and don't look back.

    My opinion too. Go with Firefox. Forget the IE.

    Yeah version 8 sucks!!!!!!!!! If you're nervous about deleting it go to microsoft.com and it has directions for removing it completely.

    this may sound dumb, but dont you have to download Firefox first before you uninstall IE?
