deleting internet explorer

[kitchwa]

I am using windows 7 and deleted the shortcut to internet explorer. I have tried deleting internet explorer through programs files and deleting it as administrator as well however I am unable to delete it. A pop-up comes up that reads "you require permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to this folder". I use firefox and Internet Explorer randomly opens itself and then laggs. This is such an annoying issue. Any help is appricated.

I think your logged in user don't have administrator privileges, Please login with admin, then you can easily uninstall internet explorer.

You can't uninstall IE. It is automatically installed with the operating system. You can just update it.

Try this

1) While you are logged on as an administrator,click

Start, and then click Run.

2) In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.

a) then click on the + besides HKey_Local_Machine

B) click on the + besides SOFTWARE.

c) click on the + besides MICROSOFT.

d) click on the + besides Active Setup.

e) click on the + besides Installed Components.

f) then click on the yellow folder "{89820200-ECBD-

11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}.

3) Locate the appropriate registry subkey, on right

side of the window that says "IsInstalled".

4) Double click on "IsInstalled".

5) "CHANGE THE VALUE FROM 1 TO 0".

6) And restart the computer, you'll get the message

when you restart the computer and would say

something like "DO YOU WANT TO COMPLETELY REMOVE IE

AND ALL OF ITS COMPONENTS".So just follow the

instructions and after this IE WILL BE REMOVED....
