hi all
IE has disappeared form my add and remove panel and I was wondering if someone with win 98se would post it form me so I can create a reg file to restore it
the uninstall command should be located here
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
and its IE 6sp1

hi all
never mind I reinstalled IE and that seemed to have restored its uninstall string however but for future reference in case anyone else has this problem here is the uninstall string for i6sp1 on 98
just cut and paste in to a text file and save as *.reg
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\IE40]
"DisplayName"="Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and Internet Tools"
"UninstallString"="rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance \"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\Setup\\SETUP.EXE\" /g \"C:\\WINDOWS\\IE Uninstall Log.Txt\""
