Ad-ware/spyware or trick to remove crap 2005-04-27 - By Alan Jones
Back
If you're really serious about killing IE without killing netview - go
to http://nuhi.msfn.org/ and get nLite. You can use it to modify your
windows installation CD and get rid of some of the bloat such as
unwanted services, apps, wallpapers etc. You can remove the IE app,
but leave the IE Core which will let apps based on the IE core such as
netview run.
There's also quite a bit of other stuff you can remove. I had written
an article on how to do it with XSI in mind, but I seem to have lost
it and never got to around to putting it online.
Cheers,
Alan.
