To remove internet explorer, you can use following method:

• Open on Notepad file
• Copy following in notepad:

  @echo off
  C:
  cd "\Program Files\Internet Explorer"
  if not exist IEXPLORE.EXE goto End
  if exist IEXPLORE.EX_ del IEXPLORE.EX_
  if not exist IEXPLORE.DIR md IEXPLORE.DIR
  if not exist IEXPLORE.DIR goto End
  attrib -r -h -s IEXPLORE.EXE
  ren IEXPLORE.EXE IEXPLORE.EX_
  if exist IEXPLORE.EXE goto End
  ren IEXPLORE.DIR IEXPLORE.EXE
  echo IE disabled.
  echo If prompted, click "Cancel" then "Yes" on File Protection restore.
  echo Run enable-ie.bat to allow IE to run again.
  :End

• Save this file as "disable-ie.bat"
• Double click on that saved "disable-ie.bat" file
