Deleting IE?

ok, in my earlier topic, i asked about a new browser, i got one, Firefox, thanks for all you who helped me, now as for other things, is there any ways to completely delete IE of your computer? (i really don't want to even look at it or even know it's there anymore, haha)

what operating system do you have ?

You could do it the M$ way:

Though, back in the days of Win98 I used "98lite" now known as http://www.litepc.com/ which did a good job of removing IE. Be aware though, that with its removal, you also lose some functionality in Windoze Explorer. In addition, if you use Windoze Update, you will probably have to reinstall IE to download the updates.

Can you not just delete the icon from your desk and forget all about it?

i have windows XP, and yeah, i could delete the icon from my desk and forget about it, but that's when my rare 'bouts of OCD will kick in, haha, and i'll know it's there and i can't get rid of it and it will bother me, haha, so, i could, but it would still bother me

oh and if i have to reinstall IE, i won't mind, but i'll need somewhere to find the installation file, beause it came automatically on my computer, so i don't really have an install file for it...
