MSN Explorer

rolleyesrolleyes My OS: WinXP Home/SP2: In Add/Remove Programs.. under Add/Remove Windows Components, MSN Explorer is listed (20 MB). I do not know if this program is necesssary since I already have AOL. Is MSN Explorer like a web browser program...similar to AOL? I am thinking this is what it is, so I tried to "remove/uninstall" it from Windows Components. I put a check mark in the box next to it then click Next. It runs (or installs??) something and the message then is:
"You have successfully completed the Windows Components Wizard".
However, MSN is still listed in Windows Components and I cannot Remove/uninstall it. If it is not necessary to have this program then I would definitely like to remove it completely from my system. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

 

Nothing actually gets removed from Windows components like they do in Add/Remove programs. A check in the box indicates that you have (or want) it installed, and a cleared checkbox indicates that you want (or have) it uninstalled.

FWIW, there is a wiki article on MSN Explorer.
