Great blog post over at AeroXperience on a new option available in Windows 7 that allows you to remove Internet Explorer! Very useful for those who wish to completely get away from Internet Explorer.
Quick steps to follow to remove Internet Explorer are:
1. Enter the Control Panel and look at “All Control Panel Options”
2. Click “Programs and Features”
3. In the left sidebar, click “Turn Windows Features On or Off” (you will be thrown a User Access Control prompt)
4. Wait for the list to load.
5. Look for Internet Explorer 8 in the list and uncheck it.
6. Click OK. You will see a prompt notifying you of a reboot.
7. The machine will reboot once, configure things, and reboot again.
Now, as the blog post states, this only removes the iexplore.exe file from your computer. But this allows you to safely remove Internet Explorer and not receive errors about missing files (some third party programs would remove Internet Explorer, but cause missing files).
Enjoy!

thank you for sharing this, but what you mean in 'missing files' are this will disturb the performance or any other applications?
Great artical about Explorer 7 but how do I stop Explorer in Windows Server 2003. It is giving me fits. Besides I don't like it.
