Well, for starters, you can delete OE from XP.

Ask yourself carefully, is deleting IE really something you want to do?
It does cause Windows Update to be unusable. Also some programs, such
as NAV, will not work without IE installed, though you rarely have to
use it. Probably best advice is to leave IE installed and only run it
for critical updates to the OS.

If you are sure, there is XPLite:

I have used the 98Lite version to remove IE from two machines, one
running 98SE and the other ME. It worked in both cases. I have never
actually used the XP version, so I can't swear to it. While it is now a
pay program, there is a free preview that works forever.

Hi Rob ,

I would agree with Leonidas on what he said. I have used IE just because
it came with Windows, but when I found out you can use mozilla instead
my internet surfing days changed. No spyware, cookie control and etc..

I decided to leave IE on my hdd for the purpose that some sites still
prefer IE over open source browsers . But if you have to use IE for
surfing remember to run a Spyware removal tool ,IE likes to pickup
spyware without your acknowlodgement.

I think XpLitePro lets you move Internet-exporter in
and out if restore is enabled ..not sure about it though.
