Removing the core of IE

[Swami]

What will not work if I remove the core of IE in Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 installation? My Windows are already activated so Windows Activation not working shan't be a problem for me. There are also other things that don't work besides Windows Activation... Please be so kind and write all the things that don't work if the core of IE is removed. Make a full list of things, not just some examples. Thanks.

Why do you need to remove the core? What is it doing to you?

bad...why do you want to remove it? You can remove Internet Explorer and keep its functionality in Firefox using the IE Tab extension, if that's a concern...

if you're using ms-office apps (specifically, mhtml), problems using it will be encountered ...
