After installing Windows XP Home edition and upgrading to
the lastest version.

1.
I have many filedate's 11-9-2002 (9-11-2002).
Is this normal? 11 september is somewhat special date.
Is there something wrong with this Windows XP Home
package or have all Windows XP Home editions this file
date.

2.
When I delete Iexplore.exe in program files\internet
explorer, it automatiqly re-apears is this normal
behaviour?

If you purchased a legitimate copy of Windows and it is working properly, I
wouldn't worry about it.

You should NEVER be just deleting system files and programs from your hard
drive!!! You can remove IE by going to Control Panel and choosing
Add/Remove Programs and then click the Windows Components button.

I know scott,
but it does not appear to me as normal Windows XP
behaviour.
Try it yourself? make a copy of iexplore.exe in \program
files\internet explorer.
delete iexplore.exe
wait 60 seconds
is it back on your system??

This system has just been installed from the original CD
but I can't remember this behaviour to be something that
is normal in Windows XP (Home?)

It is normal behavior because IE is a system component of Windows and unless
uninstalled correctly, it will come back on you.

It just seems like you have a working copy of Windows and are trying to
"test" it by fiddling with it. As I said, if you just did a clean install
from a legitimate copy of Windows and it's working properly, then there's no
need to tinker.
