re: Uninstall/Disable/Inhibit use of Internet Explorer Monday, July 18, 2005 at 1:39 pm Posted by Jack Gulley (5917 messages posted) There is a tool called IERADICATOR that will remove all the parts of IE (code and Registry entries) from Windows 98/ME, except those common modules required by other parts of Windows. It is intended to be use to remove corrupted copies of IE so that a new (or older) version can be installed. However, I don't think you really want to try it. You do not seem to understand several simple well know and documented facts about Internet Explorer. 1) You can not download and install Windows Updates and security updates without Internet Explorer working. 2) AOL is a shell program that is built to run on top of IE and uses almost all of its code, and AOL for Windows will not work without IE installed and working.

I need to disable the use of iexplore.exe, not Internet Explorer. Although itd be nice to get rid of it altogether, and with the new AOL Browser out (still based on IE, however, features like FF/Opera), that may be possible [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Uninstall/Disable/Inhibit use of Internet Explorer Monday, July 18, 2005 at 1:59 pm Posted by Jt E (51 messages posted) 2 things, one, there is a registry key (which is kinda tricky) that allows disabling certain programs from running. When you use a utility to disable running cmd.exe, or regedit/regedit32, the utility writes to this reg key. I had it a few months ago and need to go google for it some more. two, another simple solution would be to change the proxy connection setting, and then lock the connections tab from being edited, however, you'd also need to disable users from running regedit and heres a third thing I just thought of, what about a group policy? Well, it appears as though I've answered my own question. Thanks anyway [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Uninstall/Disable/Inhibit use of Internet Explorer Monday, July 18, 2005 at 3:21 pm Posted by Ms. Eagle (32675 messages posted) "I need to disable the use of iexplore.exe, not Internet Explorer." IExplore.exe IS Internet Explorer, and you can't disable it and still get AOHeLL to run....period.
