iE is a part of the operating system - after ver 6 i believe the good old Microsoft people decided for you that you do not want to uninstall it. But you are free not to use it. It's just that iE is intertwined in the OS (operation system). And yes, you can reinstall it - no you are right MicroSoft did hide or remove the the unstall option.

In most cases a corrupt IE can be fixed by running SFC.

One of the major culprits in missing or corrupt operating system files is running a registry cleaner or optimizer. They can flag important shared files for deletion or cleanup. Another cause is malware.

If you computer comes up clean after running your resident security products, you may want to consider running a System File Checker (SFC). This can be run in Safe
Mode should you prefer. To get into Safe Mode either hold down or tap the F8 key repeatedly while the computer is starting up. To run SFC, close all applications such as Office, Messenger, Email, etc, and go to:

- Start
- Run
- Type in sfc /scannow (include the space before the " / ")

What SFC does is that it attempts to fix or replace critical operating system files. Sometimes this can be done without the installation disk, however it may prompt you for the appropriate operating system installation disk. If that is the
case, then you know that you definitely have file corruption or something missing. Insert the disk if prompted. Also you should run SFC using the Administrator account.

Don't surf, play games or do anything while SFC runs. After it is completed, reboot your computer.

NOTE: Before running any registry cleaner or editing the registry, always ensure you back it up first. If the registry cleaner you are using doesn't have that function, you can do it manually. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756

Hi there

You can uninstall internet explorer 7 and then reinstlal it using microsoft, however, you don't need to do this. After uninstalling it, you can just find the setup file in program files/internet explorer and run the setup file again. This would save you time.

Answer 5

The answer would depends on many informations which you will need to provide for it, but one thing for sure you can't uninstall the IE. The only thing which you can do repair, but that also depends on which os you are using.

Answer 6

Internet Explorer is a Windows Component, and although it can technically be removed, you shouldn't as Microsoft ingeniously built it into Windows so you are forced to use.

You can update at updates.microsoft.com and update to IE7.

Your best bet is to forget internet explorer and use Firefox.

Answer 7

SFC never works to fix your damaged IE . and never ever run a registry cleaner or optimizer they are well known trojan downloaders . the answar to your question is yes if you havnt installed the latest version of ie by going to ctl pannel+add remove+add remove windows componant. and yes if you installed a new version of ie by going to ctl pannel and add remove it assuming that you r using xp ..

Why do you want to do this? I don't think you can uninstall it but you can repair it.
