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.

I think u can uninstall ie .u wil be asked to insert the xp cd in the drive for that.u can remove ie from add/remove windows components from the disk cleanup option

^^^ Thats what I said. No method will remove IE completely.

U dont need any XP CD to uninstall IE...but if U again install it....than XP CD will be asked.

Windows update depends on Internet explorer.
