IE8 with IE6 skin

I recently discovered that you can still use the classic look of IE6 even
with IE8 installed.
Using XP Pro SP3, all you have to do is use the following executable found at:
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\iexplore.exe

It does cause multiple iexplorers to open, but I'm still searching for a
method on making this work properly.

QED: Why not just uninstall IE8?

Re: IE8 with IE6 skin

Use software the way it was designed to be used or live with the
consequences of doing it 'your way'.
