How can I revert from IE9 to IE8 on Windows 7 64-bit?

Hello,
How can I revert from IE9 to IE8 on Windows 7 64-bit?

I cannot tolerate that annoying message "Show Risk blah..." that appears on almost every web page I visit
BTW, how can people tolerate this? it is the most annoying thing I have ever encountered in software.

OR

If I have to use IE9, how can I disable those annoying messages that pop up at the bottom of almost every web page?

Thanks

To remove IE9 go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off -> and uncheck IE9

Some of the messages come from settings in IE Tools|Internet Explorer|Security tab|Custom level settings. We would have to know each message to tell you which setting.

Hi Thinkpad
I still get the following messages: "Only secure content is displayed. What's the risk?
And then I have to select the "x" to close the message.
Thanks!

I get that message only occasionally and it occurs only for a small number of sites.

Try resetting IE. This brings back IE to out-of-the-box settings. IE, Tools, Internet Options, Advanced and Reset. This also deletes saved passwords so make sure you have a record.

Once reset, see if the behaviour changes and post back. .... Thinkpads_User

Also, once reset, or even otherwise, take a look at this site for another way to disable this message. Look down near the bottom.
