How to remove IE from Windows Vista?

Anyone please help me to completely remove the IE from Windows Vista since I
prefer to use Firefox. IE doesn't work with my language typing tool but
Firefox.

And even I have set Firefox as default handler for internet, but when I
click some link like Yahoo Mail notification then IE still launched.

Please help.

Internet Explorer is part of the Vista operating system and cannot be
removed.

Re: How to remove IE from Windows Vista?

Hi,
You may be able to remove access to IE7. From Control Panel> Default
Programs> Set program access and defaults> Custom> click the down chevron on
the right> make Fx the default and uncheck "Enable access" to IE.

Also... from Control Panel> Windows Update> Change settings, make sure that
an option *other than* "Never check" is selected.

Hope this helps,
Don
