I don't particularly like IE7, but it's about 10% of my traffic, so I wanted to run both 6 and 7 for testing. Here is a little tutorial that allows to run native IE6, and, if you haven't installed IE7 yet but want to, you can run 7 as standalone without overwriting IE6.

1. Download IE 7 from Microsoft
2. Unrar the exe file
3. Delete the folder that is named 'update'
4. Delete ie4unit.exe
5. Delete spuninst.exe
6. Delete spupdsvc.exe
7. Delete install.ins
8. Create a new text file called iexplore.exe.local and save this file in the same folder
9. Run iexplore.exe to open IE 7

Or you can just upgrade to IE7 on your computer and run IE6 in the free virtual machine provided by Microsoft...

This is probably the better solution as most of the "hacks" to get IE6 and IE7 to run side-by-side on the same computer don't always work perfectly.

I've been running across people who have installed IE7 and wished the hadn't. The first option could be a way to "test" IE7 on a machine, couldn't it? Even though it might be a (sic imperfect) test for the reasons Richard brought up might it be safer as a trial method on a questionable machine?

Using the steps I posted you're not installing IE7, only running it, and it works flawlessly on my machine. Occasionally I have 6, 7 and FF open at the same time to compare artwork, rendering and layout.
