The XP menu bar, windows, etc look exactly like what ive been running on a netbook for 14 years. Turning off the candy coated look was just clicking a box (choose windows classic at 3:51 in the video) and XP reverts to Windows 2000 look. Lots of offices ran it that way

IE was a major security risk, especially when they stopped updates for older versions of Windows. With IE removed, I wonder what the security is like in Windows XP.

[@MIOG_MIOG]

Newer versions of windows support removing Internet explorer without almost any missing features like this

[@pankoza]

In fact, Microsoft themselves removed it in Windows 11 and a update for Windows 10!

[@MIOG_MIOG]

​​@@pankozathey didn't, IE is just hidden by default on windows 11 Many apps (including microsoft ones like Microsoft office) still use Internet explorer to show HTML content and also you can get internet explorer open with some frickery But you can remove internet explorer by disabling internet explorer component in add/remove optional features

NEXT : What if Internet Explorer was removed from Windows 7?

[@Windows.Expert]

windows 7 "e" editions exist which don't have internet explorer

[@osstuff123]

Windows 7 is not as dependant on Internet Explorer because the E versions had to exist, until they were scrapped

[@pennyandrews3292]

So basically, Windows XP without Internet Explorer is Windows 2000, with a few pieces that act like NT4? Not surprising, given how IE was integrated into the OS piecemeal after Windows 95, but the integration was much slower on the NT side. NT4 is basically the NT equivalent of Windows 95, but it got way more service packs, so there's no equivalent of 98 or ME. The next NT version was Windows 2000, which had some IE integration but a lot less than XP, being more of an evolution of NT4. Windows XP was all about taking the NT base and turning it into a consumer OS with a new coat of paint that's mostly written in HTML, sort of like what Windows 11 is doing with Windows 10... it's just a new coat of paint over Windows 10 that's trying to refresh things. It's funny, most people remember Windows XP as the last good version of Windows. But as someone who was there at the time, I see it as the first bad version of Windows NT, with this desperate attempt to "modernize" the look with random HTML stuff, too much IE integration, product activation being required, and the beginning of moving away from the classic Windows theme. I think Microsoft doesn't really understand that Windows XP worked and people liked it because the NT foundations were solid, and has instead doubled down on the marketing stuff they think made it work. There's a reason why so many people wanted to use the NT versions of Windows at home back in the day after seeing them at work, and why so many even now keep trying to get Enterprise or Server editions for home use.

[@DavidMounder9598]

I think it's going to break Windows Explorer because it's tied to IE. Update: Hmm, well partially broken, except that most of the elements are in 9X

[@justanytacc123]

and crashing maybe is a code issue, since nt4 and xp codes are different but indeed some stuff can break without ie on, its made for fun so yeah, im the one person who messaged u for usage of 10 conversion sounds

[@osstuff123]

@@justanytacc123 I think crashing is not a issue, because of Windows's compatibility level, especially through NT version

[@ilikeRBLXYT]

how did u run ie on windows 11?

[@fuseegelee]

You can do it by many reasons, but the only way I got it to work was by installing Legacy Update

[@justanytacc123]

Next remove IE or Edge from Win 11 as completely as you removed IE. Looking how Win 11 file explorer looks I am quite confident that it runs on chrome. Like the way tabs look are so chromeish in my opinion.

[@ThatRandomToast]

In Windows 11, it's still possible to launch IE using a .vbs file containing this: CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application").Visible=true

And what if the Aero theme was removed in Windows Vista/7? It's only possible in the starter edition. i only like aero theme cause the basic theme is boring. The aero theme is way better because it has transparency on taskbar and window boarders. That's the most thing I like about the aero theme.
