How do I completely remove Internet Explorer from my computer?

It's too embedded in your OS, not to mention, you do want your Windows updates, right? It's not taking up any space that is slowing down your computer, just delete the icon and forget it's there. What if the browsers you will use instead of IE all fail to work? What will you use then? "Prior to Windows XP, you could physically remove IE from a computer (though it wasn't always easy), but with XP, to satisfy various antitrust rulings, Microsoft changed this while making it easy to "disable" IE without actually removing any of the files it uses. Why? Because all sorts of programs and OS functions use various pieces of IE. Deleting the files that comprise it, as you mentioned late in your message, is actually quite dangerous to your computer's stability." http://tech.yahoo.com/blog/null/35598
