kurt476 Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Hi there people. is there a tweak already for IE6 to be Separated from Windows Explorer?
cluberti Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I'm a little confused by the question - do you want IE6 not to use shell components, or the old-style Windows Explorer?
kurt476 Posted March 24, 2006 Author Posted March 24, 2006 hi there cluberti, sorry about not specifying. what I mean by like Internet exploer 7 has been separated from windows exploer. is there anyway of doing the same if any budy has see the preview of IE7. if Microsoft found away then there has to be away to sparate both IE6 and windows explorer.is there any way?i don't want to install ie7 beta.
cluberti Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 IE7 has the same files separated from shell components as Windows Explorer. It's just that the IE7-specific files are newer than IE6, otherwise they'll use the same shell components on Windows XP.

cluberti Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 IE6 and explorer cannot be separated, as IE6 actually uses shell components (not the other way around). There are guides on the 'net on how to remove IE6 completely from an installation, but I wouldn't suggest it.
nmX.Memnoch Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 i would like to have windows xp running better.I fail to see how this would help Windows XP run better.I've read that IE7 and Windows Explorer won't be integrated (with each other) in Windows Vista, but I don't know how true this is.
cluberti Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 They're not technically integrated, but IE uses shell components at times (like shdocvw.dll and shell32.dll), and Explorer uses IE components at times (like wininet.dll and urlmon.dll). I doubt this is going to change any time soon, including the Vista timeframe (otherwise IE7 would likely not be able to run on XP).
nmX.Memnoch Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 It's just something I saw mentioned here... http://www.msfn.org/comments.php?shownews=16471Of course, that doesn't mean it's true...just rumored. You're in a better position to know for sure.
