Your paranoid.
Outlook Express is part of win, as is IE, they will thus be installed on
your boot drive with win.

If on the other hand you want to stop other people at your location
accessing your PC there are other ways.
PS you have a backup of your data? perhaps a second external drive?

Is there a way I can use my external hard drive
while using Internet Explorer and Outlook Express?
I security concerned and thought if I have these
files
on the external drive where I can disconnect it
from
the PC when I'm not using it. I already keep my
doc
financial files on it. Would like to be able to
do the
same when I access my bank account, etc......TNX
