I doubt it, but I'd be interested to hear the results of
your attempt.

IE and Explorer are still tied together. A number of DLLs
used by Explorer are part of IE install. For example,
browseui.dll, wininet.dll, shdocvw.dll, shlwapi.dll.
Shell extensions are also shared. An Explorer Bar is
installed to both Explorer and IE. It's not as much of
a tie-in as it was pre-XP, but they're still tied together.
So the question would be how does XP Explorer react
to being dumped into a different set of DLLs, from a
version of IE that's not supported on XP.

I was hoping someone had already tried, but no one has posted anything.

I didn't find anything on the net, either.

I haven't done my research on the exact file name, as of yet, as this is
more a curiosity than anything else.
