I don't think you can, I think they are now so closely coupled with the OS,
they cannot exist without them.

I got a good response recently regarding TweakUI and modifying the
registry
to change the default location for picture files, so I thought I'd give
this
question a try in this forum. How can I get my computer (running Windows
XP,
SP 2) to permanently get rid of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express?
Every
time I delete the .exe files, they come back, and if I try to delete the
folders, I get an error saying it is in use by another person or
application.
