I don't believe I have any, so I might be in good shape. But I worry
about BHOs that might have been installed without my explicit
knowledge. How do I remove them?

(I used to have a tool that identified things like that. HiJacker?
Hmm, looks like I did install it on this new computer.)

Return MSIE6 to a pristine condition, and ensure that it is up to date.

Glad to hear. But I wonder: did you truly "have to" make all those
changes first, or were you just being cautious? Did you have problems
without those changes; or did you of others that did? Did the
problems occur when installing the production IE7 or the beta version?

Thanks for all the tips.
