Uninstalling IE6

[Philippe Borel [Switzerland]]

Hello,
What is actually happening if I proceed??
Does XPPro has an older version as a backup??
Can I then re-install it via the MS Website??
And will I then automatically recover again my
complete address book and all the old mails
I had previously stored at Outlook Express??
Thanks for your kind reply!

Nothing is certain when it comes to working with computers, but you
shouldn't lose your addressbook etc... use the backup wizard available in
Windows if you wish; or check out Majik's OE backup utility and use that
first:

You can't actually remove IE from WinXP. The option to do so just removes
the IE icons, shortcuts and menu items.

Why do you want to remove it?
