Well, if anyone out there cares, one of our IT guys here says if you go into
add/remove programs, and click on the "set program access and defaults"
button, you can essentially tell all programs to ignore the presence of IE
and OE.

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.
