    I've tried your way to install IE7 as standalone IE. After that, something seems happened to my PC and I can't open any URLs / local HTML files with original IE6 - instead, they're opened with Firefox which is my default browser. Do you have the same problem? If so, do you have any insights or ideas to solve this issue?

    You know what, you're right. That's very weird. I'm going to investigate a bit to see what I can find out

    Hmm, running iexplore.exe http://www.someurl.com works, but not from in IE6. I completely deleted the IE7 folder (I had to kill the iexplore.exe process first, it wouldn't stop even after closing down both versions if IE) and IE6 started working again.

    Very, very odd. I'm keeping the working copy of IE7 zipped up on my desktop & I'll just restore it as I need it.

    In the mean time I'll keep digging into this problem. I suspect it's due to the fact that after IE7 runs it steals the url rendering & loading libraries to itself so when IE6 runs it acts like any other application trying to load a URL & uses the default browser - Firefox.
