How to Uninstall Internet Explorer 8 in Windows 7 (almost)

Windows 7 now has the ability to “uninstall” Internet Explorer 8. This decision was most likely made due to the antitrust issues Microsoft has been facing with the European Union, who has been pressuring Microsoft to either provide alternative browsers or not offer IE at all. Interestingly, European copies of Windows do not come with any built-in Media Players.

Anyway, “uninstall” means you can now remove the Internet Explorer executable completely from Windows 7. The IE files themselves will not be removed (for now) because IE has been integrated into a couple Windows components. If you really want to get rid of the IE executable, this is how.

1) Open the Start Menu and type in Windows Features

2) Uncheck the Internet Explorer box

Once you click OK, you will be prompted to restart. After the restart, Windows will make a few configurations and reboot again. After that, you’re all set.
