| There is a simpler way to remove data coming from I.E ctrl + alt + delete Go to task manager and click on Processes Look for explorer.exe and end process it. I do it all the time and my computer works hell of a lot faster. |

You can try for fun and see what happens, though. |

[/quote] If you do disable explorer.exe, make sure to have the task manager open. If you want your toolbar back and etc; Just click "New process" and type in Explorer.exe This can be done with other processes too Edit: Dangit.... Ninja'D |

| Go to your control panel and click "programs and features" or something like that and Internet Explorer should be there for you to uninstall. If not, just download another browser and it will replace your old one. |

If you accidently DID disable explorer.exe you could always restart it by running explorer.exe As for IE. I never tried to uninstall IE because I would need a second browser that could dl antivirus if one day I get a virus on firefox or chrome |
