I heard uninstalling IE in XP was not possible. I am a devoted firefox user
and I never use IE. Can I rather UNINSTALL IE7 so it's not 30+ megs for
nothing?

Hi,
You can uninstall IE7 and IE6 will reappear. You cannot remove IE6 from
Windows XP.

I feel the same way but IE7 doesn't give me a choice. Like when I am on
firefox using my yahoo, everytime I search for something IE7 will pop up and
then I have complete screen of it. How do you keep IE7 out of it completely.
This has just started happening and I HATE IE7. I am always getting error's I
then have to shut everything down. So I would like to know also if it is
possible to uninstall it? Anyone out there know?

You need to go into FF, Tools | Oprions | Main, and make it the efault
browser.

As far as uninstalling IE7...good luck, it didn't work for me.

So they want me to keep it. Evil Microsoft...

And I really don't want any version of IE.

Perhaps deleting the folder manually. Does that do anything?

Hi,
It would help if you quoted the message you're replying to.

IE7 can be uninstalled from Windows XP (usually.) Did you see my reply to
your original message?

Have you made Fx your default browser in Control Panel> Add or remove
programs> Set program access and defaults?
