Providing they're running an up-to-date version of XP...

Quickest solution to that is to grab the IE7 installer and run it, that'll 
repair anything that's broken.

Second quickest - go to "Add/Remove Programs" in control panels and then 
choose "Remove Internet Explorer" if it's available - this'll 
automatically restore IE6 on their system

Third quickest. If they have an XP disk, they can do a repair install

I know that's not the answer you're after, but it might save a lot of 
hassle for them.
