Have you tried to install IE6 over the top of it?

Re: How to remove IE7?
Hi, I found this through Google How to remove IE7 - REW Thomas's Blog - REW Blogs Real Estate Blogs looks its just what you need.. Bugger! sorry I should have read it properly first.. Back to the drawing board

I have been checking through some sites and it does seem doubtfull if indeed it can un-installed. Apparently its quite an integral part of Vista. I did find this page though which could be worth reading and it does actually give you instructions on how to remove it.
Release Notes for Internet Explorer 7

It goes on to say that you have to type this in your 'Run' box and it will un-install..
%windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe I did try it but with not much luck, maybe more reading is required. Hope this helps and good luck.

Re: How to remove IE7?
Instead of trying to use IE6, why not see if a third-party browser such as Opera or Firefox does the trick?

<Note: I am not in any way, an IE7 hater>
