No, you cannot uninstall IE Explorer, It is embedded into the operating system and many Microsoft applications depend on it, Microsoft updates..etc.. Just use Mozilla Firefox and dont worry about it, besides youll still need Internet Explorer to open some websites that arent compatible with Firefox yet.

in the adventure that your living house windows version is later than living house windows 2000, removing IE from living house windows factors will purely do away with shortcuts to it yet this gadget will nonetheless be there. that's achievable to uninstall IE from later living house windows variations whether that's an prolonged winded technique and not nicely actually worth the issue. Plus some web pages do not run authentic on any browser different than IE (you should use IE Tab Firefox extension to view those web pages, yet this needless to say choose IE put in), so conserving IE could be greater useful than getting rid of it.

You should Reinstall Internet Explorer 6... or at least make that attempt. You see IE is a part of Windows... and you can't get rid of it. Use FireFox for (not a movie of a similar name) general browsing, but use IE for Windows updates and other special ASP based websites that simply won't display active x without it.
Visit the Microsoft website for the most recent IE6, but avoid IE7.

You can only remove the icon. It is intertwined with the operating system. It is also needed for Window's Updates. It is not "just a browser". It can't be removed and you will not find it in add/delete programs.
BTW: I also use Firefox. It has an add on that will use the IE engine within a Firefox tab when required.

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to. It's just an internet browser just like Netscape or Foxfire.

You really shouldn't, you don;t have to use it, but it should not be totally removed as it is part of windows. Besides it doesn't take up any room.
