my last nlite i decided to remove completely internet explorer, including ie core. 99.8% of software works great without it, and i am pleased, however the one thing that dosen't work is photoshop cs3 / cs4. apparently the geniuses over at adobe thought it was a good idea to make the installer 100% dependant on ie to display... so my question is this: is there a minimum of files from ie core to keep, while still removing the bulk of it that will enable this awful installer they used to function?
