It is integrated into Windows, and is needed for many things such as Windows Update, even if you don't actually open a window. If you like FireFox, thats OK to not open up IE, but please don't attempt to remove it. BTW, Add/Remove Windows Components will not actually remove Internet Explorer. __________________ - Matt M - KB1OSC - Folding@Home 85015 [URL="http://www.techsupportforum.com/hardware-support/"] If TSF has helped you, please consider donating.
