Method 2: Run the Spuninst.exe program that is in the IE7 folder

If you cannot uninstall Internet Explorer 7 by using Method 1, use the uninstaller file that is available in the IE7 folder to uninstall Internet Explorer 7. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click "Start", click "Run", type "%windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe" (without quotes), and then click "OK".
