>I went to the install/uninstall program and actually ran
an uninstall on microsoft explorer....and it removed the
explorer name that was there on the uninstall list....There
was still an icon on the tool bar after I went back in so I
knew that something wasn't right....after trying to
reinstall from an explorer file I had saved from another
computer for internet explorer it stated that a newer
version was detected....I then discovered through my
searching for answers that explorer came imbedded with xp
and couldn't be removed...and yet...it still doesn't show
version number when I start the icon
