    Default Uninstalling Internet Explorer?

    Is it possible?

    Since switching to Firefox several months ago, I haven't used IE at all and probably won't in the future.

    Unpossible. IE is an integrated part of Windoze.

    In XP, I'm fairly sure you can get around it by going to Add or Remove Programs, then Add/Remove Windows Components.

    EDIT: Yes, just tried it, it worked.

    Try to run Windowsupdate through windowsupdate.microsoft.com now.

    Edit - So just for giggles I looked it up, because I'd forgotten exactly what happens when you do that. You can't uninstall it. If you are at 8, it'll automatically revert you back to 7. If you uninstall 7, it'll automatically revert you back to 6. You can't remove it, it really is an integral part of windows.

    Go to run and type "iexplore"

    Does IE pop up then?

    Well after seeing this, I've searched around a bit.

    There are methods that completely wipes IE out of your system, however it's something like removing nails from your hands completely: Although you can live without them, they will hurt forever and there will be times you'll be saying "it would be better if I had my nails".

    Since it's nothing easy and flawless during and after doing it, I am not recommending complete removal of IE from your system.

    If you're a die-hard anti-IE fan, google is your friend.
