Too, you want to be cautious of deleting IE from Windows. There are other applications that use some of the IE engine. Be sure you have a backup or re-install capability. You could run some of your applications.

Unless you have a good reason to remove it, you probably should not. You can use other browsers anyway. Just install one (Firefox, for example) in a different directory and make it your default browser.

That's why I advised "for informational purposes"-- far as I know, IE is hooked into the OS, besides other processes using it. That site claims it leaves that other stuff intact, but I would not try it without at least cloning the HD to another spare drive.

I just let IE lie fallow, using FF except for certain sites- like Microsoft (!) that won't accept rogue browsers.
