Samantha,
Please, if you don't know what you're talking about please don't guess or
give wrong information. Did you even *try* to use Google with these
keywords: uninstall OR remove "outlook express"?
OU *can* be removed.

As to your "Why" question, because even when you're not using OE, it's
still actively listening and a security risk.

That's strange. I've removed Outlook Express and I still have Internet
Explorer. Is it because I'm one of the most ruthless dictators in history
and the computer is terrified of being exiled to Siberia or that you don't
know what you're talking about?

Outlook Express is necessary for various functionality in Microsoft Internet Explorer. I am not saying without Outlook Express you will not have a funtional Microsoft Internet Explorer. What I am saying is you will have a less then functional Microsoft Internet Explorer. Seems to me if you don't want Microsoft Outlook Express then don't use it. The savings in space by removing this application is what 3.3MB. If you ever have to repair IE you will get it back.

Wrong. Sorry to come into this so late, I've been elsewhere.
OE is NOT necessary for ANY functionality in MSIE, it can be very
easily removed and, for those who haven't found it yet, the
instructions are on the MS website:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;263837&Product=oex
FWIW, I've been running Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows
2000, Windows XP and now Windows XP 64bit version w/o Outlook Express.
Why? Because I hate it, OK?

It IS my way, George. Suppose you tell me one single function that is
lose in MSIE if OE is deleted? I've been running MSIE w/o OE for
several years and if I'm missing something, I've not noticed it?
