fdv Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) 100% concur. What is your OS?Let me say this about removing IE... if you are asking about removing it and then in the very next sentence you are asking about installing IE7 at some unknown point in the future, then this means you really DON'T want to have an IE-free system, you only think you do.I have a theory that says that people who install without any IE whatsoever and then go and hunt down and delete all IE registry keys are only a stone's throw away from using Linux, whether they know it at the time or not...

Well mate, my whole ambition is to keep my system, most fastest, out of Bloatware. I think i made this pretty obvious already mate.Secondly to reply u, i wud tell u that IE has been so talked about n such a big whole issue in the Whole Windows setup, that if u try to remove it absolutely, u must be pretty prepared for the future as well. U shud be good to knowledge with all the things u can do later, to bring sanity to ur system, if anything has to be seen as Future-Proof.Think thatS the way it IS..

Everyone here is in his own boat.Lets cool it guys!The speed argument is pointless: you won't lose performance if you keep IE installed. You lose performance only for background applications and services, not for applications that you decide when to launch and when not like IE. Also some windows functionalities won't work without IE.

fdv Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Agreed, with XP there is not a huge advantage of going without IE.Windows 2000 benefits the most from not having IE.if everyone wud rather try to look at the simple 3 questions - which was the whole intent to open this topic, we wud have a better thread here.1. Use nLite to remove IE and the core. You can go into REGEDIT and further remove any entries dealing with IE and it's DLLs. Because of the way XP's registry works, removing IE keys would not have much of an impact. Windows 2000's registry works differently (the whole thing is loaded, XP's is paged).2. Once IE is removed, you cannot add it back. You would have to reinstall XP.3. IE 7 is better than IE6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
