Included in operating systems Windows web browser IE many users do not like, and likeshows practice, the overwhelming majority would like to get rid of it. But how in Windows 7 to remove Internet Explorer, if the program is "sewn", and get rid of her the simplest standard methods is almost impossible? Further We propose to consider several original solutions that will get rid of the browser not only in Windows 7, but also in other modifications of the system.
The browser itself in any Windows system is used for surfing by default. Thus, is not it easier to simply change the application that will be used to access Internet resources?
Сделать это можно в соответствующем разделе programs by default, which is in the standard "Control Panel". But the browser itself will not go anywhere and will be able to activate at any time (for example, when a system crashes or when another browser that was used to web surfing).
To prevent the browser from being activated, you can take the following actions:
Для начала рассмотрим вопросы, связанные с situations when browser updates were installed in the form of versions with a higher rank. The original modification in the list of installed applications section of programs and components is not displayed, but the version above can be found there.
In the simplest case, you just need to mark the application and click the uninstall button (you can also use the context menu PKM). Internet Explorer allows you to remove Windows 7, but the original system uninstaller removes only the main components of the program, and registry entries, files and folders uninstalled applications on hard drive still remain. They need to get rid of using the search keys in the system registry (regedit in the console "Run"), as well as a similar tool in the "Explorer".
But all this related to situations when the update was made. Now a few words about how to remove the original version of Internet Explorer in Windows 7 by deactivate the browser.
For this, the same section of programs and components is used, after which it is in the components of the system that the browser is turned off (a check mark is removed from line c name). Further there will be a warning that the removal of this component may adversely affect the performance of Windows. Nothing wrong with that. We agree and we wait end of deactivation. Further delete the registry keys and files with folders, as shown above, and then reboot.
Yet again, the above This method only allows you to disable the browser. But just to completely remove it in the system, you can use either the command line, or uninstall using PowerShell. They allow you to get rid of the built-in applications of the system, including Windows Internet Explorer.
The command console is started by entering the cmd combination in the Run menu (required as administrator), after which the string FORFILES / is writtenR % WINDIR% ServicingPackages / M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer- *.mum / s "cmd / with echo Uninstalling package @fname && start / w pkgmgr / up: @fname /norestart". If an error occurs several times, her need to ignore, execute the command yet once and restart the system.
For PowerShell firstuse the list of all programs using the Get-Appx Package line, then the browser is searched for and its full name is copied (PackageFullName), and then team Uninstall Remove-AppxPackage with a spaced found full name. When the operation completes, a reboot follows.
Given methods using console deletion to an ordinary user may seem quite complicated. A simpler way to solve the problem of how to remove Internet Explorer in Windows 7 is to use special utilities designed to uninstall software of any like, including embedded applications. They're called uninstallers. As an example, consider the procedure used in the application. iObit Uninstaller.
How in Windows 7 remove Internet Explorer fromusing this package? It's simple. Since the browser itself is not in the list of installed programs, you need to use the menu section called Win Manager and go to the Windows application section. But IE is already there. Simply mark the program with a checkmark, press the delete button in the form of a basket, after the end we enable powerful scanning, and delete all the results by pre-activating the file deletion line.
As you can see from the presented material, you can get rid of the browser. As the main tool is recommended use the deactivation of the program (you never know when you may need it again) or use uninstaller applications. Such solutions look much simpler,rather than actions for console deletion cases. In addition, in the case of using third-party software, you can get rid of garbage residues, the search for which in manual mode have to spend a lot of time and effort.
