Hi Dave. That is to work with Outlook Express. Used it many times. The way
to check what I mentioned is to look at the verision of explorer.exe after
the upgrade to IE 6. Then if you think you can return to IE 5 or 5.5 after a
Service Pack has been installed over IE 6 is to go look at the version of
explorer.exe after the putative attempt to return IE to a prior version. It
will still be the updated shell. If you can do it that would be something as
Microsoft also says it cannot be done.
Here is a page that tells why Ineternet Explorer may not appear in
Add/Remvoe:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303485/en-us
The statement I made that it cannot be removed after a Service Pack install
is at the site "somewhere:" but where exactly is a different question. Of
course Dave if you can do it that is always nice to know. I just never was
successful doing it and is why I do not install service packs after a IE
"upgrade" in Windows 2000. If I am going to apply a service pack I return IE
to a prior version (IE 5.01) first.
