I have windows 2000 can I completely remove Microsoft Internet Explorer if so how? I now have firefox.?

Answer 1

Go to add/remove programs and then click on the left side it says windows programs, click that and then uncheck internet explorer.

Answer 2

You can hide it from the control panel, add remove settings, But like the others say, do not delete or permantly remove it, windows explorer and several other vital programs rely on it. Or you can simply delete the desktop "E" Icon and forget it. And use firefox, I recently aquired Fast Browser Pro - It is freeware now, use to cost $29.95. It uses tabs, skins, and Helluva Fast Browser Based on the IE interface. But NO DO NOT DELETE IE, you will regret it.. Trust a A+ Tech, I know what I am talking about, and it didn't cost you a thing, but to listen....Good Luck

Answer 3

You can remove most programs by going to Start>>Control Panel>>Add or Remove Programs>>And click the program you no longer want and/or need.

Answer 4

Don't remove IE. There are some websites which use IE even if Firefox is your default. You would have difficulty using those sites if IE is not installed on your computer.

Answer 5

Internet explorer is part of windows.....I'm sure you're still using parts of it even if you have firefox.

Answer 6

You shouldn't do that, because if you need to go to the MS website, they will require you to use IE. Just use Firefox (and keep it updated)!

Answer 7

well the way I would do it is to delete the program from the computer and use firefox instead put it into the trash and then empty it

but in your case, no you can't just don't use it

Answer 8

you cannot remove completely MS Explorer, just hide it, and never use it again.

Answer 9

no, you can hide it but it is to importand to the OS to completely remove. plus there are still some websites you need it for

Answer 10

no you can't remove it but you can hide it as the first person said
