== Impacts == Removing Internet Explorer does have a number of consequences. Some programs bundled with Windows, such as [[Outlook Express]], and some basic Windows components, such as [[Microsoft Windows Help and Support Center|Help and Support]], depend on libraries installed by IE in order to function. Before [[Windows Vista]], it was not possible to run [[Windows Update]] without IE because the service used ActiveX technology, which no other web browser supports. With IE removed they fail to work, either partially or entirely. In addition, [[Internet Explorer shell|third-party web browsers based on MSHTML engine]] require IE and stop working without it.
