Removing/reinstalling IE in Windows XP

[Jerry]

Is it possible to totally erase and then re-install IE in
Windows XP (home)?

 

[Ty]

I believe you can do it by going to control panel,
add/remove programs and on the left hand side click on
the icon that says add/remove windows components and
within here deselect Internet Explorer.

This should remove IE. Would I need then to go back to
the original CD that came with the computer to re-install
IE?

 

[Ty]

Better to go and download IE first before you uninstall
and then reinstall the new version - go to:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/ie6
sp1/default.asp

I'm looking for a reload of IE6 and tried to access the site provided below.
It just takes me returns an error message of "We're sorry, we were unable to
service your request. As an option, you may visit any of the pages below for
information about Microsoft services and products." and then a huge tree of
various options. Any ideas?

I'm attempting to remvoe IE6 also, so that I can reload a "clean" version.
On XP I only get the option to remove ACCESS to IE, it makes no claim (nor
does it) to actually removing the IE application. What else works?
