I need to uninstall IE on a pc that has Vista as the OS, In XP I would go into Control Panel, Add/Remove then Add/Remove Windows Componets, I can't find Add/Remove windows componets in Vista, am I not looking in the right place?

Hi JerseyGirl, welcome to NeoSmart Technologies.

You can't uninstall Internet Explorer 7 on Windows Vista, it's part of the operating system and cannot be removed.

However, installing another browser such as Opera or Firefox will automatically de-activate Internet Explorer from running.
 
Thanks CG for the quick response, the reason I wanted to remove IE is so that the end user of the pc could not access the internet, if I install FF or Opera they would still have access to the internet.

^ vista has "Parental Controls" which you can set different user accounts settings, in there should be something dealing with the internet.
