| 190031 | 2003-11-08 00:09:00 | Hi Have recently started using MozillaFirebird, and am nothing but impressed. Especially with the size and speed. I now want to UNinstall Internet Explorer, but can't seem to find a way of doing that. Also could this cause problems running other programs? Thanks in anticipation Julia |

| 190032 | 2003-11-08 00:13:00 | porpora I always thought it was unwise to uninstall IE, but I could be wrong. My advice is to keep it as it is always good to have two browsers on your computer. There was a time my Netscape became corrupted and would not open. With still having IE installed I could download Netscape again and install it. Without a second browser it would have been more difficult. You may also need IE for windows updates. Oxie (Lyn) |

| 190033 | 2003-11-08 00:15:00 | You could go to add/remove programs in Control Panel. But. I have heard that the 'bundling' aspect of Microsoft's OSs means that you could cause problems for your OS. (Assuming you are using a MS one.) |

| 190034 | 2003-11-08 00:22:00 | Are you running win XP??? If you are then you should have no problem removing it, But if you are using win 98 se / win ME (not too sure about 2000) then do not bother. (Just remove the links on the start menu/ quick lunch & desktop icons), also you will not be able to run windows update either :( |

| 190037 | 2003-11-08 02:09:00 | If you want to read up on the various bugs and tweaks have a look at these sites: Annoyances.org (www.annoyances.org/), Mocrosuck (http:) and BlackViper (www.blackviper.com). Look down the left hand side of the latter for win xp sevices and installation. Cheers Murray P |
