I suppose no one ever reads those agreements when you install software. :)
You'd probably never install the thing if you did!

Heh, that's true... I've never read a disclaimer or anything like that in my life. I just click on ''next'' without thinking. :-)

try this : www.98lite.net and search for the ieradicator 2001. it;s a program which delete's the explorer completely from your pc, the registry files as well.
but i have never used it bafore so be aware
