Title: Why is Internet Explorer still working when it was uninstalled?

I uninstalled it from "add or remove programs" in the control panel and it successfully uninstalled (or so it said), however, when I attempt to open a link from an e-mail, instead of the link opening in Firefox, it opens in IE as if it were never uninstalled.

So how the heck is this happening when it was uninstalled and doesn't appear to even be on the computer? More importantly, how do I get rid of this POS program? I'm tired of fighting with it.

Has anyone else experienced this?

In XP you can't uninstall IE, it is part of the OS. But you can in Vista and Windows 7. I just installed Windows 7 a few days ago and it is much better than Vista. So far I would say it is the best OS Microsoft has ever made. That isn't saying much though, since all their past OS's sucked. BTW, I didn't buy Windows 7, I am not crazy or rich enough to pay for their OS, I downloaded it from the Pirate Bay.

Oh, as a side note, IE9 is the best IE browser ever. It actually competes competitively speed wise with Firefox and Chrome now. It might even beat them in speed, but it isn't the speed king, that title belongs to Opera.
