Hi Sharon :-)

You can not uninstall IE from your XP, as it is a core part of the program.
You can, however, reinstall and.or repair.

However, you might try extracting a new notepad.exe file to replace the
current one, as it may be corrupted. Try the following first and see if it
will help:

http://service1.symantec.com/support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001011114021106

If still no joy, then you should try the repair first. If that does not
clear the problem, then you can try the reinstall. Here are the
instructions for both:

XP

But, before repairing IE6 SP2 you will have to remove Windows XP Service
Pact 2 from Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs. Then use the last
method in this article, or the following:

How to remove Windows XP Service Pack 2 from your computer

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=875350

If by chance the files needed for a repair from the Add/Remove Programs are
not available, you can use the XP startup disk to add the components to the
computer, or the following:

If these steps do not resolve your problem, or you need help with the above,
please post back to this thread with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps

Jan :)
