Internet Explorer 6.0 w/WINXP SE sp1

[Michael P Gabriel]

Hi, When I had Win 98 SE, I could bring IE 6.0 up, click
TOOLS/OPTIONS and then delete Temporary Internet Files and History
Files.

Now, I can't bring up IE 6.0 at all. I even reloaded the MS disk, IE
6.0. When I did so, could it be that the disk installation merely
installed over the corruption on the HDD? Should I delete every file
in IE 6.0 and reload from the disk?

Final question: Does WIN XP allow the viewing of IE 6.0?

Mike

Hi,

The options you want can be found in the Control Panel/Internet
Options/General tab To reinstall Internet Explorer, follow these steps:

Go to the Control Panel/Folder Options/View tab, set it to "Show hidden
files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files
[recommended]". Also uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".

Then, open Windows Explorer from Start/All Programs and go to the
C:\Windows\Inf folder. Locate the ie.inf file, right-click it and choose
install.

You may need to either insert your WinXP CD or know where your I386 folder
is located on the hard drive. You may also need to know where the
\ServicePackFiles folder is (usually under the Windows directory).
