I always manage to mess these things up

If I press the internet quick launch key IE6 still appears (Firefox is my default browser).

Wonder what would happen if I removed IE6 all together :hmm:

Or am I opening a can of worms here?

Given that you're on XP, you really can't, because IE6 is integrated into the OS (that's why XP is so prone to viruses). You could, however, upgrade to IE7, and see if that accomplishes anything.

That's not a bad idea.

But I might give upon this one.
I tend to be a bit conservative when messing with computers.
I would hate to have to pay someone money to sort out something I broke.
After all it works fine at the moment.

Thanks anyway though.

To be honest, upgrading to IE7 wouldn't be a bad idea anyway, simply as it is far more secure than the swiss-cheese that is IE6.

I'll stick with Firefox as my web browser, I don't use IE at all anymore.

You still use it for updating purposes though.

Guess you learn something new everyday.
Didn't know that.
