    How to uninstall IE6?

    I have IE6, which I am unsatisfied with. However, when I go to uninstall it, the only options it gives me are "add a new component" and "repair IE6". My problem is that evey once in a while it stops the mouse movement, and this annoys my father to no end. IE5.5 didn't do this. So I want to uninstall IE6 and install 5.5 so that he doesn't go insane and buy stuff that he rally does need.

    Anyone have any ideas? [short of reformatting, of course]

    Thanks

    Thanks musicjet
    but it doesn't tell me what to do if the "Restore the previous Windows configuration" button isn't available to click. Rahter, they tell me to reinstall windows, which is a pain. I can't help but think there must be an easier way...

    If you reinstall Windows to the same directory (without formatting) it will keep all your programs and settings intact.

    Also I found this:

    Open C:\Program files\Internet Explorer. Right click the folder Uninstall information. Click Properties
    Uncheck the hidden mode and press OK. Go to C:\Program files\Internet Explorer\Setup. Run setup.exe
