I wanted to re-install windows xp in my system for repairing purpose. But before that one of my tutorials suggested to un-install internet explorer. I don't know why ?

If someone knows the exact reason for it...........

Answer 1

Removing IE from Windows XP can have unpredictable consequences and as far as I'm aware it's not generally a good thing to do. Having said that, if you feel you absolutely must remove this component, you can do so via a number of methods.

You can create a preconfigured image of XP with whatever components you wish by using nLite:

For post installation removal, take a look a XPlite:
