Well, on my computer, when you go to "Add or Remove Programs," there's a side button that says "Add or Remove Windows Components." Or something similar. Anyways, there it gives me the option to remove MSN Explorer.

This might not be true for all versions of Windows...I have XP.

PLEASE get Mozilla. It's worth it. I swear by firefox!

You won't be able to totally get rid of IE. Just so you know.

I use Netscape. It's like the original Firefox, with a Mozilla backbone, but not as compatible with sites designed for Internet Explorer. I get derided all the time for not making the switch to Firefox, but I get so sick of Firefox trendies who act like it's the first IE alternative that's ever existed. I hate IE and haven't electively used it in the 12 years I have been online. Netscape has been my trusty companion all that time and I would recommend it to anyone (even though the AOL buyout of their company still saddens my heart).

BTW, once you use tabbed browsing (either in Netscape, Firefox, Opera, or whatever) you will never, ever want to touch IE again.
