I need to uninstall IE so I can install a clean version.  Deleting the icon
is not helping me.

How do I do this?

I too need to completely uninstall IE (version 5.2.3 specifically).  MS's
uninstall directions state to simply delete the program icon, but that, in
my experience, is hogwash.  I need to be able to completely remove *all*
traces of Internet Explorer.  Anybody have suggestions?

That worked famously, thank you for your help.  So glad to be free from the
corruption of 5.2.3 =)
