first method mike1061 offered simply deletes the "shortcut" to IE i believe and really isn't doing anything...

second method may work, but i would highly suggest that anyone using WinXP NOT "uninstall" IE since it's an integral part of the OS (more than any of us may think) and could seriously bork your system...

just don't use it to surf the web...it doesn't take up much HDD space anyway...
