Just wondering, has the DOJ gotten wind of this program yet? If not, they definately should. It blows the "integrated/inseparable" argument out of the water.

I plan on voiding my license later this afternoon using this info, and I will let you know how it works when I do it. Whee!

Yaaahoooo!!! Now I hope that my machine won't crash so much.I wish there was a program that replaced all IE styles with a Mozilla interface

I'm getting win98 with my new 450 mhz pc. I didn't pay $2500 just so MS could slow it down. I'm also going to take a look at litestep (found by following a link on the 98lite page). That looks cool too

Aleks,

The DOJ may not know about this specific program, but they just had a witness that showed how IE could be removed from Windows 98.

Remember, this does more than just "hide" IE or delete IE icons,etc. This saves quite a bit of hard drive space

Joel,

I think the witness the DOJ used just removed the icon and a couple of other things, to my knowledge he didn't manage to save 30Mb of space and shrink the registry by 1/3.

Actually I think the witness wrote the program. From his testimony he removed specific lines from dll files using a program, not sure it was the same one. He also had to share it with Microsoft around September and claimed in his testimony that Win 98 was modified on Dec 4 so his program wouldn't work correctly. So everyone be careful Microsoft loves to modify code to hurt programs that hurt them.

MS said you can't remove all the code of IE, this doesn't remove code. A team at Princeton under that guy that testified removed all the code.

Also I did this and I must say everything is MUCH faster. I hated using IE as an explorer (I was using a command prompt) and just that was worth it to me.

I wonder if anyone wants to work on integrating Gecko into Explorer? ;)

I know this isn't quite REMOVING IE4, but there is a pretty handy utility available at <http://www.annoyances.org…features/integration.html> for just simply turning IE4 off. It seems to work just fine...

I work for an isp who offers netscape to all customers and have noticed a recent trend for many users to favor IE's complete "integration" with the os. I personally hate having IE on my system at all, but think if at all possible it could help the browser immensely if it could replace the existing integration completely with a Netscape type of interface.

There's a way to remove IE from Win95 completely. Check out the following link: <http://www.compuclinic.com/osr2faq/> Check the section near the bottom of the page I can't believe DOJ still haven't heard about this article yet!!!

The problem is related to IE4 not IE3 and Win98 is the focus now.
