I'm curious as to why you though it necessary to attempt to remove IE from your Windows computer in spite of Microsoft making IE an integral part of the Windows operating system. Wouldn't it just be easier to remove the icons and ignore the program's existence by using the alternative browsers. I'm afraid that you may have damaged your operating system to the point that a re-install is necessary. You could try the "repair an existing installation" but I've never had much luck with that.
