I am not responsable for any way of misunderstanding or bad functioning for any information. I tested almost all of what i will write and i will tell any problems or good things that i encounter. So in principle i first test and then write here.

So, let's begin.
------------------
Let’s say you have problems with IE 8 and want to get rid of it. It is an easy step, but take care of following things:

If you remove Internet Explorer 8, your previous version (6, 7) will be restored with their last customisations (homepage, favorites, add-ons ...).

! Important:
If you remove Internet Explorer 8 from Windows 7, beware that it is a part of Windows 7 and therefore you will need to install a third-party browser to be able to browse on internet!
You cannot uninstall Internet Explorer 8 if it is set as not removable. This it occurs if you install Internet Explorer 8 before installing Service Pack 3 (SP3) on Windows XP. If this has happened, then you must uninstall Service Pack 3 (SP3) then uninstall Internet Explorer 8. More about this on official site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950719/ 950719 - You cannot uninstall Internet Explorer 7 or Internet Explorer 8 after you install Windows XP Service Pack 3.

First you must be logged on to windows as an administrator
Cose all programs.
(don’t forget that after uninstall, restart windows)

Windows 7
Click Start - then click on Control Panel.
Under Programs, go to Uninstall a program.
In the tasks pane, click Turn Windows features on or off (to have them in the list).
In list of windows features, uncheck the box next to Internet Explorer 8.
Next you will receive a warning message in a little window. Click Yes.
You’re done! (restart windows).

Windows Vista
Click Start -> Control Panel -> Uninstall a Program under the Programs category
In the Tasks pane, go to View installed updates.
In the list of installed updates, double-click Windows Internet Explorer 8.
In the Uninstall an update dialog box, click Yes.
Follow the next instructions to uninstall and then restart your computer.

Windows XP
Click Start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs
In the list, click Windows Internet Explorer 8, and then click Remove.
Follow the next instructions to uninstall and then restart your computer.

So, if you done this right, you have now uninstalled Internet Explorer 8.

That's it.
