HOW CAN I ERASE ALL TRACES OF INTERNET EXPLORER SO THAT I CAN REINSTALL FROM
SCRATCH?

Hi Mark,

You can't. It's integrated as part of the system. However, reinstalling
Internet Explorer is fairly simple.

Go to the Control Panel/Folder Options/View tab, set it to "Show hidden
files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files
[recommended]". Also uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".

Then, open Windows Explorer from Start/All Programs and go to the
C:\Windows\Inf folder. Locate the ie.inf file, right-click it and choose
install.

You may need to either insert your WinXP CD or know where your I386 folder
is located on the hard drive. You may also need to know where the
\ServicePackFiles folder is (usually under the Windows directory).
