u CAN unintsall IE...but u run into a world of shit. Not recommended
lol... you can not unistall IE. IE is an intergral part of windows in 98,me,2000,xp,and 3003 server. The only 2 versions of windows you can unistall IE from is windows 95 and NT4.0.
You see it all stated in 1997 with internet explorer 4. Internet explorer 4 came bundled with this new feature called desktop update.
What desktop update did was change the user interface of windows 95 and NT 4.0 from the 95 user interface to the now Integrated Internet Explorer interface. In 1998 windows 98 came bundled with IE 4.0 and completly did away with the 95 GUI. Then IE 5.01 in 98se, 5.5 in ME and 5.01 in 2000, 6.0 in xp. Any way the Idea back in 1997 was microsoft thought it was a good idea to make browsing files on your computer as easy as browsing the web so they turned windows into a web browser. Some utilities such as 98 Lite claim that they can remove IE from 98 but in all honesty any MS OS after 95 or NT4.0 you can not remove IE. Two reasons why you can not remove IE are if you removed IE how would you browse for files on your computer? If you removed IE how would your computer even start after all windows depends on IE to run.
