It's not too straight forward I'm afraid.\n\nYou need to go to your Add/Remove programs section.\n\nStart > Control Panel > A/R Programs\n\nThen select Add/Remove Windows Components from the left hand menu bar. Here you will see a tick in Internet Explorer. Un-tick it. And press OK. Make sure you have all windows CD's to hand as you may need them at any stage.\n\nRepeat the process to put IE back.

I wouldn't remove internet explorer altogether.  Sometimes its good to have more than one web browser.\n\nActually, I don't think it's possible to remove IE.\n\nEven if you did manage to remove IE, you wouldn't mess up your internet connection.

Unfortunately, there isn't an easy way to uninstall IE. IE is buried deep into the core of Windows. \n\nI know getting rid of IE seems like a good idea, it actually isn't. There are some sites that will ONLY work with IE, such as update.windows.com, which is very useful, if you use Windows.\n\nI use Firefox, and have no use for IE either, except the rare occasions. What I have done is removed the link to it off the desktop (right-click on the desktop > PROPERTIES > DESKTOP > CUSTOMIZE DESKTOP > and uncheck INTERNET EXPLORER). Also, you can be sure to remove IE from the quick launch bar in the lower right and the program menu by right clicking on it and removing.\n\nFor the few occasions that I need IE, I have an extension in Firefox that I can tell to open up IE automatically for certain sites.

Download a clean copy of IE to your desktop.\n\n(You should have a backup/alternate browser anyway.  So, before proceeding, go get a copy of Firefox or Opera or my current favorite, FLOCK.   This is a "just in case" step.)\n\nTHEN\n\nGo to the START button in the lower left of your desktop.\n\nClicky\n\nSelect <Control Panel>\n<Add and Remove Programs>\nwait three hours for the flippin' list to populate\nGo to Microsoft Internet Explorer - highlight\nRemove! (Far right button)\nReinstall from download\n\nBest wishes!

Internet Explorer is needed to operate windows.\nIt cannot be deleted. If you wanted to disable it go to start>allprograms>set program access and defaults then choose custom then uncheck enable access to this program.

if you have xp, you already have internet explorer, it is a part of it, you can't get rid of it. it is just probably that you have mozilla as the default browser. find the shortcut to internet explorer on your start menu, open it, and reset the settings to default, it will ask you to make it the default browser, just say yes

See if you can reset the internet settings.\n\nHit Start-Settings-Control Panel-Internet Options\n\nGo to the "Programs" tab and hit "Reset Web Settings"\n\nIf this doesn't work, or you don't have that option, you may want to look into a virus scanner or spyware scanner.\n\nIf nothing works and you absolutely need it working, you can always re-install XP over itself. As long as you don't re-partition or format, you shouldn't lose anything.

I don't think you can permanently get rid of IE from your windows.  You can just delete it from all visible areas, but uninstalling is not possible as far as i know.  Still if you want to do Microsoft updates manually or some other downloads from Microsoft, it is only possible from IE.  Apart from that some secured sites like of some banks still are fully dedicated to IE and Firefox won't support.\n\nI advise you to delete it from desktop, quick launch, start menu to totally avoid using it.  If in some case you want to restore it, you can right click on desktop\n\nProperties/Desktop/Customize Desktop/Put a tick on IE\n\nThis will bring IE icon back to desktop and you can use it on a temporary basis.

You have a couple things you could do.  One is to try firefox (http://www.mozilla.org)\n\nAnother, is to call tech support.  There are a hundred things that could cause your problem with internet explorer.\n\nOr, try these and if they don't work contact internet explorer.\n* Clear your cache.  (Tools -> Options -> Button that says 'Delete Files')\n* Restart your computer\n* Update windows files using Windowsupdate (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com)\n* Update any antivirus/firewall software on the computer.  if this doesn't work at this point remove and reinstall any antivirus/firewall software on the computer.\n* Still a no go, call your internet service providers tech support.
