Thanks Rick,
Was thinking of this strongly. I do not care for IE7. I can not "drive it"
well at all.
IE7 is not friendly to me. OK, that is just me. I agree. Yes, after all
these MS
years, I deal badly with big changes. (like why I still use w2k mostly on
the LAN,
for now!).
I do agree with keeping IE7 (even if in the closet) because I know MS will do
updates to it. I did think about all the already installed low level
"browser stuff."
I did think about this.
I like your idea; and am off to just install FF and Thunderbird. Great idea.
I was leaning; needed the push.............. :)
Best,
Duncan

To answer your question the way "I'd do it"
ONLY If IE7 is working, keep it. Patch it...
Don't use it...
"Add" anything you want... FF, etc...
IF you un-install IE7, you will revert to the
version that came "built-in" with your OS.
Likely IE6. BUT then you will have to patch that
as high as you can since it is "there" now,
open to attack, and part of the OS, (which was always a "bad idea", (but I
digress...)
Since IE6 is or will run out of any support,
I'd never go back to it...
JMHO, Rick Glazier

Subject: [H] XP and IE7
I recall that someone that has been here wrote that I CAN de-install the
IE7 that now lives on my XP machine. Is this really true?
Yes, it is listed on my Add/Remove proggy list. (a very good sign..... :))
What/how do I end up AFTER I do this de-install?
Do I revert back to v6.x? No browser? ??
Plan to spend Labor Day installing FF and Thunderbird on XP.
Thanks,
Duncan
