There's no way to uninstall Internet Explorer. Of course if you have AOL - guess what - I.E gets reinstalled so you're right back where you started. Why bother?

You can delete IE (almost) by using "find" and then delete. I recommend downloading Flashpeak slim Browser in its stead; it will support anything that Mozilla Firefox will not. You can have as many browsers on your desktop as you like, BTW, for those of you who may not know.

I've bypassed xp and gone to Mandrake Linux for all my new installations, however I still have some 98se boxes running. Like many, I had become so accustomed to crashes that it seemed normal to have to reboot more than once a day.

Several years ago I discovered the 98lite stuff, and ran IEradicator. Stability increased dramatically; it would now take 2-3 days before the system became too stupid to continue running. 98lite claimed that you could reinstall IE as an application without losing that stability, but I never tested that (I've never used IE. Not once.) With the addition of a memory garbage-collector (I use ReleaseRAM), it's not unusual for a 98se box to run weeks at a time without a reboot.
