How can i uninstall Internet Explorer from Window 7 Ultimate?

To disable IE from your Windows 7 PC, click Start> Control Panel> Programs> Uninstall a program.

You can see the list of all programs installed on your computer. Internet Explorer is not on the list since it comes pre installed with Windows PC. On the left pane, click the "Turn windows features on or off" to launch the Windows Features box.  You will notice that the Internet Explorer is selected. Just untick the Internet Explorer check box to disable it And click OK And then restart your computer.
