Can you have IE7 and IE6 work on the one PC or does IE7 overwrite/upgrade IE6?

IE7 replaces 6, but if you backi it out, or go to a restore point, you winf up with 6 again. There's one site that offers stand-alone versions of every IE browser back to 3.x. At one time, I was running 4, 5.5, and 6. On the IE newsgroup someone was mentioning that they were running 6 and 7.

You may not be able open some pdf files with IE7. Before when I was using IE6 all of these pdf files worked. Just tryed to open some of them and got blank pages. I did a google search and only found a few comments on this bug. So I downloaded Adobe reader 7.0 and it works now. So if you have any problems opening up any pdf files you may need to upgrade Adode Reader also.

Just an update on this... evolt.org has ie browsers back to 3.0 as stand-alon zip files. You download the zip, and run the browser from within the zip - e.g. for ie6, run iexplorer.exe from the zip. http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/standalone

I have IE6 on a w2k machine, but I really need both on the laptop. I do a lot of work for corporates and at least half of them are W2k/IE6.
Interestingly enough, IE7 is starting to become the driver for many corporates to go to XP or Vista. They really like the expanded lock-down features they can implement as policy for IE7. Biggest reason most corporates I know of stay away from FireFox is that it's missing lock-down features.
