}Subject: [JA] Deleting IE from Windows95
}From: Babette C Bloch
}
}
}I am giving an old 486/66 (running Windows95, with 20 megRAM) to a
friend
}who wants to try it before deciding to buy a computer. (He's been away
}from computers for about 6-8 years but was a accomplished user in DOS
}days, and in fact held my hand thruough my early computer use. He wants
}it mainly for EMail and Web research right now.
}
}In any event, setting up the computer for him, I loaded Juno4, which I
}knew would run slowly, but says it's OK with a 486/66 and, realizing
only
}had Netscape, not IE, I loaded the IE5 that was on the Juno CD. In the
}process I elected to put on some special parts of IE that were optional,
}in case he wanted to see Java script on the Net. (IE5 says it will run
}with this configuration, and he and I KNOW it will be slow.)
}
}After I looked at it, I realized that the IE title indicated it was a
}Juno "version" of IE5, and it was all set up with DUN for Juno.
}Realizing he might have to change to some other ISP after the first of
}the year, I thought I'd take off this IE and replace it with a plain one
}that comes with Quicken.
}
}However, I find that although I could uninstall the IE extras I loaded,
I
}can not seem to uninstall IE itself. Using the Control Panel's
}ADD/Delete programs, it keeps bringing up a screen that offers to fix IE
}to its former configuration. I don't know what's going on.
}
}I thought that IE was not built into Windows until W98.
}
}Can anyone help?
}
The fix may be what you realy want. Try it! The title on IE
comes from the registry, not the program code, and MANY ISP install/setup
programs do that. It can also be fixed with regedit, by deleting the
entry for IE with that title line. Installing another version or upgrade
will NOT fix the title bar! Even if it allows you to install another
copy in a different directory, that copy will pick up the same title from
the registery. 8-{
