So one of your friends, “not you of course”, has managed to
nuke Internet Explorer and they are unsure how they did it. You’ve eliminated
the possibility of viruses and adware, so this just leaves you and a broken IE.
Before you begin to even consider running a repair install of the OS, let’s try
to do a repair on IE instead.
THE REPAIR PROCESS
Start the Registry Editor by typing regedit from the Run
box. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Active Setup \ Installed
Components \ {89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383} and then right-click the
“IsInstalled value.” Click Modify. From there, you will change the value from 1
to 0. All right, go ahead and close the editor and reinstall IE from this
location. /http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx
IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
If messing with the registry and something goes horribly wrong,
you can use “Last Known Good Configuration (F8 Safe Mode)” or a Restore Point
to get back to where you were before, with your settings. Then you can try
again, this time taking care to watch the portion of the registry you are
changing. Most people who have troubles with this end up changing the wrong
registry key.
