I don't think you can uninstall it. Why do you want to?

It should have been uninstallable from within the control panel...
but since it's not you'd need to manually delete it...
then search for it's traces in the registry and delete them too.

Though I have done that with success...I don't recommend it...
as you could potentially damage your system
 
Hi,
Thanks 4 ur reply. I solved the problem. My ie was corrupt and was not
working properly. so i follow the steps given below.

Well that's not entirely correct. Some years ago I was successful more than
once by setting

"IsInstalled" to zero

I used the regedit described in this article to reinstall IE. I know the
article says for Windows XP, but I used it successfully on Windows 2000.
Seems like after setting "IsInstalled" to 0, and after restart then IE/OE
reverted back to IE5.0 Then you can just run the setup again for IE6



for IE
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}

for OE
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}

The kb article has changed since then. (318378) and may no longer apply.
