IE7 missing????????

My next door neighbor has a computer running Vista home premium.
All of a sudden IE 7 doesn't seem to be there any more.
It's not listed in the system at all.
He has no idea what he did.
He did a search for it and couldn't find it.
How can he get it back?
He has FireFox now but wants IE 7 too.
Thanks Bill

Try system Restore to an earlier date before the IE7 went missing!

No help there.
It's been way to long and that restore point is long gone.

Then He/She can download the IE7 and see if that installation process will
detect the Old directory for the IE7!
Does the user log with admin Privileges or limited user?

Have your neighbor navigate to this file and double-click it:

C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
