Hi, all ;)
For those people who are having problems in removing internet explorer 8 beta from windows xp SP3. Here are the steps that you can try:
Steps to uninstall Internet Explorer 8 Beta from the computer:
Note: These steps are only for Windows XP with Service Pack 3.
1) Click on Start, click on my computer.
2) Browse to C:\WINDOWS\
Note: You will have to unhide the files and folders:
a. Start Windows Explorer. To do this, click Start, click Run, type userinit.exe , and then click OK.
b. Click Tools, and then click Folder Options.
c. Click the View tab.
d. Click Advanced Settings.
e. Under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders, click to clear the Hide Protected
Operating System files (recommended) check box, andthen click OK.
3) Double click on the folder “ie8″.
4) Double click on the folder “spuninst”.
5) Double click on the executable “spuninst.exe”.
Follow the prompts and then click on “Finish” to restart the computer.
Your Internet Explorer will roll back to the previous version (IE7 or IE6).
