That is what the custom option is for. You can untick the things you
don't want. The typical install will bundle all those programs for you
just because that is what the market has said is the general need.

That is another reason I stopped using IE. The security issues on it.
Although a recent alert in both Netscape and Mozilla reported that a
properly (or poorly, which ever way you look at it) formed ASP call
could in fact force the browser to read a local file.  I still haven't
heard anything about a fix in a security issue in IE6 (I think) yet.
