Everyone's least favorite web browser will soon be impossible to uninstall

[SeattleVet]

10. When I worked in a government agency's library we banned IE from use on our public access systems.

It was still 'required' for the OS to work, but I went through and removed all icons, links, and references to it that I could without bricking the systems. Buried the application very deep into an obscure directory; renamed folders and files, changed registry entries to point to the new places, etc.

About once a month when I did my daily morning checks of the systems I'd usually find one where someone had gone through the time and effort of searching for it and using it. Then I'd have to spend time that day going through the system with a fine-tooth comb to remove all of the crap that it had left littered around...caches, cookies, scripts, logfiles, etc.
