What happens if I disable Internet Explorer or the XPS Viewer? (Windows 7)

Greetings,

Whenever I do a reformat, when I get to the step of optimization, I'm very tempted to turn off Internet Explorer and XPS Viewer (in the Turn Windows features On or Off section of the program manager).  However, they both say a warning that they are used with other parts of Windows.

Has anyone experienced with this?  What would he do?

Hello

Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

According to the description, you want to disable Internet Explorer and XPS viewer on your system and when you try to do, you get a message indicating that they can be used by other applications on windows.

That statement is correct, because they could be used by other applications. For example, if you try to open a link by using any third party browser, this link would automatically open in the default browser and if you default browser is Internet Explorer, you must have Internet Explorer installed on your system. and same thing with the XPS Viewer while opening the XPS document.

However, you can disable these two from your computer by changing the default programs associated with them.

Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

  • What happens when you reinstal XP OS with the cd that takes me to service pack 2 and I'm at service pack 3

    I bought TurboTax and downloaded, but can I have downloaded previously because I was unable to install due to the previous installation.  After that 2 hours of phone support with TurboTax including screenshare, they stated that the problem lies in the registry. It was damaged and I had to reinstall my OS.

    What happens when you reinstal XP OS with the cd that takes me to service pack 2 and I'm at SP3?

    I finally found my OS reinstall CD, but it's waaaay above my comfort level... what I do now.

    Frankly, if TurboTax is causing this much trouble, I would use another company as the income tax act.

    Of course, you can reinstall Windows. It's a shame, if that's the only way to solve this problem. :-(
    For later use, it is sometimes necessary to download the installation file, physically disconnect from the Internet, set up a clean boot (using msconfig startup diagnosis), reboot and THEN install the large program (and then undo the clean boot, reboot and re-connect to the Internet).

    Check your Internet Explorer settings. This must with high resolution support. You may also check your DPI setting on the scale of the system. Unfortunately, it's all confusing upward on Windows and many parameters in different places interact and serve as "quietly."

  • Why, when I have an IE open, I 2-3 instances of Internet Explorer in the taskbar?

    Hi neilanderthal,
     
    -Are you referring to the entries in Internet Explorer in the Task Manager or the task bar?
     
    If you are referring to the Task Manager, a process is for the program and one for the responsible tab.
     
    This has to do with the added tab recovery feature that prevents the entire application to plant based on a single page allowing you to continue to use the other tabs. It is a normal behavior.

    Because you will lose the lot, you will need to restore from your external backup. If you do not back up your files regularly then it is a good time to review your backup strategy.

    You can always back up your files to boot the machine with a Ubuntu boot CD. Unfortunately, it is much more difficult than restoring from a backup disk.

  • Internet explorer in the desktop

    When I click on the tile for Internet Explorer on my windows startup page 8, it opens on my desk, rather than as a page on its own that it was - how to restore this? If I restore to factory settings, is it wipe out new data (eg. people information, stored emails etc) I entered on the computer?

    First to answer your last question: Yes.  If you factory restore, it resets your computer back to how it was when you first opened the box. It is completely and totally erased, nothing.  Just as you first bought at the store.  That's why they call it a factory reset.

    As for your question of Internet Explorer, you can have it open in the modern interface still going in your Internet Options (menu Tools of Internet Explorer).  The tab programs, choose how you want Internet Explorer to open it.

    Also while you are on the Internet Options / Programs tab, go to 'Set the programs' and make sure that Internet Explorer is your default browser. It must be the value by default if you want to use from the start page.
