yes possible.
start-->> control panel-->> add or remove program-->> Add/remove windows components -->> Uncheck Internet explorer box -->> Next-->>Ok.

U will asked for system restart-->> restart-->> Done !!

Personally I will suggest you to use IE7.It is free to download.
U cab download from here:

That will only remove the shortcut to IE. It still exists on your HDD (hidden). There is no way you can completely remove IE, rather do not. Coz MS has tied IE to Windows. Fully installing IE (or manually deleting IE files) can break your Windows installation.
