Thanks Bruce - your comment implies that the Win XP operating system
requires IE and Outlook Express to function and is an uninstallable,
integral part of XP.

Guess I need to forget about removing them.

With the demise of XP updates from Microsoft, I purchased a Win 7 pro
desktop and plan to use the XP SP3 for non internet uses with robust
anitivirus/antimalware utilities.

My question: since Internet Explorer and Outlook Express will no
longer be used is it be possible to uninstall them? And if there is a
way to uninstall them is there any danger of resultant problems with
the Windows OS?

TIA



Outlook Express is a part of IE6 and both are a part of XP. They cannot be
uninstalled, but take up very little space. Both OE and IE6,7, & 8 will not
stop working.
