Re: Getting Rid of a Yahoo Browser

Hi KIR :-)

If she has Windows XP, she has IE. It is part of the Windows core program
and cannot be uninstalled.

Try the following steps and see if they help:\

Set the default browser for your user profile:

also?

Try these steps:
Firefox> Tools> Options> General> Default browser> click the "Check now"
button and select "no."

IE> Tools> Internet Options> Programs> check the box "IE should check
whether it is the default browser" The next time IE asks, answer yes.

Go to Control Panel> Add/Remove programs> Set program access
and defaults> Select either Microsoft or Custom, tick the box next to
the other browser
and make it the default browser, enable access to IE
(you may need to be in Admin account to make this change.)

Thanks. I know about step 1. But I need detailed help on step 2, i.e.,
where do I go to find and then install IE6 & OE.

My daughter has a pc running XP. Because she uses SBC DSL for her

How do I dump Yahoo and replace it with IE6 and Outlook Express.

I prefer these because that's what I've been using for years almost
trouble
free.

Thanks.

It will be a two-step process. Step one is to use the Add/Remove Programs
to unload all SBC Yahoo! branded software. I never installed it, and only
examined one system which had it installed. Check for listings under both
SBC and Yahoo!. I have no listings at all under "SBC", or "SBC Yahoo!".
My
one listing under "Yahoo!" is for the Yahoo! Messenger; but that one is
the
generic Yahoo! client, not the SBC Yahoo! co-branded client.

You may need to use a "Repair" option on MS Internet Explorer after
removing the SBC Yahoo! co-branded software. You may also need to follow
the link in your second follow-up if the SBC Yahoo! brand sticks with the
generic MSIE installation.
