15. How do I repair Internet Explorer in
Windows® XP? |
|
The ability to Repair Internet Explorer does not exist in the
version that ships with Windows XP. This feature only
becomes available after you upgrade to a newer version.
This is normal and has been this way since Windows 98 and IE4. |
|
However, you can reinstall IE in Windows XP by clicking Start,
Run and entering the following command:
rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\Inf\ie.inf |
|
You will need to have your XP CD available.
Some people have problems with the command line above. A
small VB Script that will execute the command for you can be
downloaded
here. Save the file to your hard drive and double
click it to run IE Setup. |

16. Disable Windows® Messenger in
Windows® XP Pro |
|
If you're running Pro, you can
use GPEDIT.MSC to prevent Messenger from loading.
Otherwise, even disabling it in startup won't cause it to
"always" not run. Outlook, OE and some MS web pages can
still make it load. |
|
1)
Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC
2) For "per machine" restriction, go to Computer
Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components,
Windows Messenger
For "per user" restriction, go to User
Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components ,
Windows Messenger
3) You can now modify whether it starts initially and/or
whether its to run at all. |
|
Note: Outlook and Outlook
Express will take longer to open, unless you turn off
Messenger Support. In Outlook Express its in Tools,
Options, General tab. In Outlook its in Tools, Options,
Other. One additional Registry edit is needed to prevent
a serious delay in opening OE if you use the Contacts Pane and
have disabled or removed Messenger. It can be found
here:
Prevent Windows Messenger from automatically running. |
|
|
|
|
17. Remove Windows Messenger |
|
If you prefer to remove Windows
Messenger manually, click Start, Run and enter the following command:
RunDll32
advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
Note: This will prevent a long delay
when opening Outlook Express if you have the Contacts pane enabled.
To prevent this, click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
Express
Right click in the right pane and
select New, Dword value. Give it the name Hide Messenger Double
click this new entry and set the value to 2. |
