downloads of ie, or do the over lap each other, what will happen if I delete

MSN, will the one listed as Internet Explorer be removed as well?

RE: double entries

 

My understanding is that Internet Explorer cannot be uninstalled from your

computer (assuming it's Windows) but MSN can. I'd try going to Control Panel

and then Add Remove Programs and then search in the list for MSN. I'd then

uninstall it.

 

If what you see listed is a shortcut on your desktop, deleting it will just

delete that shortcut and won't remove the program itself. I don't believe

that Internet Explorer will be removed if you uninstall MSN or delete the

shortcut.

 

Hope it all works out for you.

Hello,

 

where are they listed? What do you mean exactly? MSN Messenger/MSN Explorer

are different from Internet Explorer, if you mean this.

Re: double entries

 

I see MSN explorer and Internet Explorer in my start up menu, but only

Internet Explorer in the Add/Remove area. Also when I click properties on

each, they show that they are in fact in the Program files. There is also

alot of MSN stuff in there, should I delete everything that says MSN.

Re: double entries

 

Hello,

 

no, don't delete everything that contains MSN in it. MSN Explorer is not the

same as Internet Explorer, it is included in every Windows XP installation.

Here's some information on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSN_Explorer

 

If you don't want the shortcut to the MSN Explorer placed in your start

menu, you can, of course, delete it from there. But don't delete anything

from the Program Files folder.

Here you find the right instructions to completely uninstall MSN Explorer,

if you like:

Hope this helps you.

Re: double entries

 

Hello,

 

Internet Explorer is the current mainstream browser, with all needed

functionality.

MSN Explorer is a browser, but older (at least the version in XP included)

and integrates some MSN/Windows Live services.

 

I think you won't need MSN Explorer for your daily use, but you will need

Internet Explorer.

Re: double entries

 

Hi KureGirl,

MSN is listed in the add and remove windows components, found in add and

remove programs window. You can remove it there if not needed. I don't think

it completely removes it, just hides it and everything associated with it.

You can easily reverse the process if needed, you may be asked for your os or

app disk.

Thanks,

PattiR

IE 6.0
