The main key is in HKEY_LocalMachine_Microsoft as far as the registry is concerned. But I would agree with torre in looking under Installed Updates in the CP>Programs & Features since that is where you would find IE 9. The main key in the registry would be a last resort along with manually removing the program folder for it in "C:\Program Files(x86)" most likely being the 32bit version.
Once a newer version is installed it typically overwrites or replaces the previous version's folder meaning total reinstall of IE itself. Fortunately a browser is far easier to remove since it doesn't place other folders under your user account and log files in rather hidden locations. Since 9 was after 7 coming with IE 8 a 7 download or even a Vista download of 9 will go right on afterwards to see 9 back on.
