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.

Well that's not entirely correct. Some years ago I was successful morethan
once by settingInternet
"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.

Theinstallation of IE6 in Add\Remove off the Control Panel. And you can
Uninstall it there. If you do not see it there then it cannot be done.
newreason for this is because installation of Internet Explorer changes the
Shell in Windows 2000 and an installation of a Service Pack makes the
shell permanent.
