I read an article that i should uncheck "MSN Explorer" from the the "Add/Remove Windows Components" located at "Add or Remove Programs". The author stated that the above should only be checked if one is using MSN as their isp. Is their any validity to the above? Comments?

I assume you're asking because it's on your machine.

I checked it out at Wikipedia. I see no added benefit from the program. If you're not using it, there's no need to load it at startup. So you might as well uncheck it. If you use it, leave it alone.

No BM - there is a "secondary" program on the hard drive for MSN Internet Service Provider - by default MS wants you to use THEIR internet provider instead of a local company.
