Arghhh! I just followed the tinyurl link you gave --- the methods suggested are
very weird. Play with things (programs) in XP, for you can always re-store them
using PC restore wizard.

The bad news is you can't remove IE from xp or 2000. If you do, then
you can cripple the operating system. You can remove OE with no
problems. You can also disable IE from win 95, 98, and ME. You can
check out http://www.litepc.com/ieradicator.html for more details.

However, you can disable IE without any problems. If you're on
dial-up or vpn, then your SOL. From IE, click on Tools, Internet
Options, Connections, click on the LAN Settings button, and check the
box for "use a proxy server for your LAN . . ." and enter 0.0.0.0 in
the first box and 80 for port. This will disable all http
connections, however, it won't disable is windows update feature.
However, you can use FF/Moz/SM/Net to update windows with this
extension: http://windizupdate.com/. I've used it many times and it
works faster than IE does.

There is also this site: http://www.nliteos.com/nlite.html for
disabling IE in win 2000 and xp, and its not a recommendation. But
make sure you have a back up just incase things go wrong.

Also, there is the info here that can be useful:
http://sillydog.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2677. But again, backup!
And I not making a recommendation on this either.

Whaaa! Did you try through add/remove windows components? I have removed many
and had no problems. I didn't remove IE, however, since I use it for the
[crappy] windows update.

I personally don't see why Add/Remove windows component won't work for IE; if it
wouldn't (most of the times), then Bill Gates baton would not put it there in
the first place.

No I don't want to go through all this. I want to keep IE for winupdate. I just
used IE for a few idiotic Indian websites which don't work with Firefox/Opera or
for updates.

In win 2000 you can just remove IE using Add/Remove programs. In Win XP, it
becomes a Windows component which you can remove. I don't see what extra this
liteos is going to do.

everyone?
