You can't delete IE because it's part of Windows all you can do is delete the icon from your desktop.If you try to delete the IE file you are going to cause some problems to your OS so just leave it alone. you don't have to delete IE even if you could, just download firefox and use that.

Answer 11

It's best NOT to delete internet explorer. I've been using Firefox since it came out and even though I prefer to use it, there have been times when it got so buggy that it wouldn't open. That's when I turned to the ever reliable, yet completely clunky IE to download and install updates for Firefox. It's always a good idea to have options and I've been running both on XP for as long as I can remember.

Good luck!

Answer 16

I had a problem with IE after making Firefox my default browser. IE would open when I clicked on a link; and then just hang there, trying to connect. I got tired of it, and went into control panel >add/remove and zapped that browser! Other times I've had to download Firefox and use search to find the exe. file, then installed from that.

Answer 17

Under C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer or something like that there should be an uninstall program.  It may be named something like Unins1000.exe.

But before you do that you have to download firefox installer off http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

Once you have that install firefox and uninstall IE.

You should be able to have both if you can't remove IE.

I have both just only use Firefox

Answer 18

You shouldn't delete IE. Just download firefox and it will ask you if you want to make it your default browser,click yes.
