Is there any way to safely uninstall/remove Outlook Express, NetMeeting, and Internet Explorer from WinXP Home Edition? I 'uninstalled' IE using Add/Remove Windows Components but the files are still on my computer. I don't use the above programs and I would really prefer not to have them on my computer taking up space.

You will need IE for windows updates, and for the amount of room the programmes take, they are not worth removing

If you use another e-mail client then XP will use that, just don't set any accounts in OE

Because of the way these applications are integrated into the operating system, removing them is not a good idea. Disableing them through Add or Remove Programs as you have done is the best option.

Thanks for the advice. I'll leave the programs alone.
