The idea of removing Internet Explorer from a Windows system was first proposed during the United States v. Microsoft case. Critics felt that users should have the right to uninstall Internet Explorer freely just like any other application software. One of Microsoft's arguments during the trial was that removing Internet Explorer from Windows may result in system instability.
An Australian computer scientist Shane Brooks demonstrated that Windows 98 could in fact run with Internet Explorer removed. Brooks went on to develop software designed to customize Windows versions by removing "undesired components", which is known as 98lite. He later created XPLite to support NT based operating systems. Both of these pieces of software can remove IE after the installation of the operating system.
There are a few popular methods for removing IE from a copy of the Windows install disc so it never touches the user's hard drive. A method developed by Fred Vorck involves the manual removal of IE from installation discs. nLite, on the other hand, is an automated program that allows users to exclude IE and many other Windows components from installation as desired.
Also, it is not possible to run Microsoft's Windows Update with any other browser because of its use of ActiveX. Therefore, removing Internet Explorer will cause this to stop working. A popular alternative to Windows Update is known as "WindizUpdate" that works with Mozilla Firefox, SeaMonkey, Opera, K-Meleon, and AOL Netscape. Microsoft Internet Explorer cannot be used in combination with WindizUpdate.
You can't. It is part of Windows XP. Just use Firefox. You can set it as default browser if you want.
