Hi Shane
It might not work if you have deleted all the necessary files, but you can
try doing a repair of IE. If this does not work, then try to do a delete of
the program from the Add/Remove list.
See here first for information on how to install and uninstall IE:
Noel's IE Install/Uninstall
http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/ReInIE.htm
Repair IE ( Does not work for XP - see below)
1. Close all Internet windows and programs, then the Click the Start tab
on the bottom task bar.
2. Click Settings
3. Click Control Panel
4. Click on Add/Remove Programs
5. Find and highlight your IE version in the list
6. Click the Add/Remove tab on the dialog box under the window
7. When the Wizard window opens you should see a Repair Internet Explorer
8. Click the radio button or box next to it, then click OK
9. Let it run the repair
10. Reboot you computer
or
If you have not already done so, then you might try a repair of IE6 as
follows:

For XP Repair of IE - Courtesy of Robert Aldwinckle
XP users who have installed IE6sp1 before upgrading to XPsp1
will have setupwbv.dll and will be able to do a repair using
rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance
Otherwise, they have to use
sfc /scannow
etc., or reinstall IE6 (Ref: KB318378)
Per Jim Byrd:
There is no direct Repair function for IE6 in XP. Here are some
alternatives:
1. With XP you need to go to Start|Run and type "sfc /scannow" (without the
quotes and notice the space between the c and the /.) Have your XP CD handy
and be prepared to go get a cup of coffee - it takes a while. This will do
the same thing as Repair IE6 for XP but a lot more, that is find any corrupt
system files and replace them. It does not, however, re-register the
various software components (except possibly the ones it replaces?) AFAIK.
Be aware that under certain circumstances (Win2k before SP4 - see mskb
814510,
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q814510) sfc
can erroneously overwrite (restore over) previously installed files from
certain "hotfixes" which will then need to be re-installed. To check for
this, after running sfc, open a Cmd window and enter "qfecheck /v /l:c:\"
(without the quotes). If you don't have qfecheck installed, it can be
obtained for XP here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=35468 and for
Win2k, obtain qfecheck here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=35470
2. Another alternative that works on Win2k and may or may not work on XP
(but probably does - I've heard both stories), for just IE6 repair if you
don't have IE6 listed in Add-Remove Programs, then in Start|Run then enter
"rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance"
without the quotes, exactly as shown, and select the appropriate entry.
3. If you find that you need to do a re-install of IE6 then you can
consider the following, I can't verify this for XP (I'm Win2k - it works
there, and I've had good reports from XP users), but you might want to give
it a try at your own risk. Again, enter this at Start|Run without the
quotes and be careful about the spacing:
"rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132
C:\windows\inf\ie.inf"
4. Lastly, here is a link to a MSKB article about re-installing IE6/OE6:

XP (Q318378)

Hope this helps.
