MSIE is tightly integrated with Windows, and cannot be deleted without breaking the system.

yeah it's safe but you have to use registry edit, and i'd suggest making a backup registry.
I wouldn't delete it as you can corrupt it as well as Outlook Express. Try fixing IE by running a SFC.



First update and scan your computer with your security products such as antivirus and antispyware applications. If you computer comes up clean after running your resident security products, you may want to consider running a System File Checker (SFC). This can be run in Safe Mode should you prefer. To get into Safe Mode either hold down or tap the F8 key repeatedly while the computer is starting up. To run SFC, close all applications such as Office, Messenger, Email, etc, and go to:



- Start



- Run



- Type in sfc /scannow (include the space before the " / ")



What SFC does is that it attempts to fix or replace critical operating system files. Sometimes this can be done without the installation disk, however it may prompt you for the appropriate operating system installation disk. If that is the case, then you know that you definitely have file corruption or something missing. Insert the disk if prompted. Also you should run SFC using the Administrator account.



If you have the Vista operating system, the steps are a bit different due to the UAC. See the link below.

Don't surf, play games or do anything while SFC runs. After it is completed, reboot your computer.



One of the major culprits in missing or corrupt operating system files is running a registry cleaner or optimizer. They can flag important shared files for deletion or cleanup. Another cause is malware.



NOTE: Before running any registry cleaner or editing the registry, always ensure you back it up first. If the registry cleaner you are using doesn't have that function, you can do it manually. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756
In all honesty, if you ever run into an issue, it's good to have I.E. as a backup. I've been in situations where it would have been a very good thing to at least have a copy of it sitting on the hard drive. So even if you don't think you'll use it, download the installer and at least have that on hand in case you need it.
It is safe but y do u wanna do that... let both b there :)
According to Microsoft, IE is tightly integrated into Windows. Now, in MicrosoftSpeak, that meas that the installation of Internet Explorer has replaced key Windows dll (Dynamic Linked Library) files with modified dll's containing bits of IE embedded. Once IE is installed it cannot be completely removed, since the original



dll files are not backed up anywhere.
