Well, as long as you keep IE as the default browser you should be fine. You can uninstall the msn browser if you like.

OK, I'm totally confused on this one (which is not uncommon).  I've always viewed MSN as more of an AOL type of service.  Until today I've never heard of an MSN browser.

MSN doesn't use IE as it's browser?  That's not exactly a vote of confidence.

How do you get to MSN without a browser?  Is this a dial up service?

MSN uses a shell of IE....the same ...only different

 I wanted to try to delete the the MSN browser but I am not sure how. I can go into Add/Remove programs but it just lists MSN without any more detailed options. I also tried in Set Program options and Defaults to select IE as my default internet browser but the selection returns to "Use my current Web browser" as soon as I exit. I also tried that in IE tools. I am the PC admin and I also rebooted with no success. Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,
Steve

When you are in Add/Remove Programs you want to click on Add/Remove Windows Components.  You can find and uninstall it from there.

 Ok, I found it in Windows components. Will deleting it change the look of my screens and tool bars? Currently when I access the net through MSN I have to use a password. If I go directly to IE I don't need a password. Will I still be able to go through the MSN portal? I have a kid at home and like to use some of the MSN parental controls. If I delete it and don't like the results, how can I put it back?

Thanks,
Steve

Are you using IE now? Are you happy with it? Then uninstalling MSN broswer will not affect anything.

If you decide that you want it back just reverse the process that I had you do to uninstall it.
