How do you block IE(Internet explorer) from working completely?windows update

I take it you're using Firefox?

If you want a minimal trace of IE on your machine, go into the Add or Remove Programs control panel and click on "Add/Remove Windows Components," on the left side of the screen. Scroll down to Internet Explorer and uncheck it. (It will say the option is 0KB in size; this is normal, since you aren't deleting any actual files, just making them invisible as a web browsing system. After this, IE won't show up in any menus or on your desktop, and it won't ever launch as a web browser. (You can still use IE Tab if you need IE's rendering system. To reinstall IE, just reverse the process above and recheck the box.)

That said, I just leave IE intact and tell Firefox to be the default web browser. That option is in Firefox under Tools %26gt; Options %26gt; Main tab. At the bottom make sure the option "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup" is checked.

The above is very true, and may I just add..

The reason you can't get completely rid of IE is because it's the shell windows works in.

When you go to My Computer, or open any folder on your computer, you are using the IE engine.

Just type "www.google.com" in the "address" bar, and see the horror!!

Since it's the shell windows displays information in, you can never rid yourself of it completely. The first answer you received comes as close as you will ever get.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! :)
