IE Uninstallation

[LilAznAccommodator]

Hmm I was wondering.. Say for example if I use an Alternative Browser aside from the Traditional Internet Explorer… Is it safe to Uninstall IE? Or would that cause system errors?

IE cannot be uninstalled as it is tied to the Windows O/S.

IE can be uninstalled, but it will require a bit of work. I'm not sure if its a good idea though, some apps depend on IE from what I remember.

You could always just leave it and don't use it.

You should jsut leave it in, it's the only browser that can show windowsupdate. :(

Yeah, its better to leave IE on your system. Most programs and windows of course depends heavily on it, dam microsoft...

Really?
I have tried at least three different guides and have yet to successfully uninstall IE.
Fortunately, I enjoy reinstalling XP....

Yep leave it alone ,delete the short cut from your desktop if you must and use a different browser . Winupdates are too important. :dry:

Really? I've never tried it, but it seems easy, aren't there 3rd party apps that can do the job? :unsure:

From what I've read, if one really successfully uninstalls ie on XP. I mean gone, no trace. It'll f up so many programs that depend on it. One being KL.

ya that's true.
a lot of programs that connect to the itnerent give u the option to use your internet explorer interent settings...what would they do if there was no internet explorer. :ohmy:

and i'm also wondering what would happen if you went into windows explorer then typed in a website name. :huh:

[peat moss]

I didn't think to ask why does one what that option ? Ask the World court ! :lol:
But one could use XPlite to remove all the extras , if needed. :) Not IE I'm afraid tho.

Hahah Thanks for all your input... I guess I'll just leave it alone for now... Heh WindowsUpdate hasn't really had any updates for a long time so I was only wondering.
