No, but Windows is weird enough as it is with the lack of IE removalableness.

If everything ran through IE there would be crap for browser security.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Fixed.... apparently I had to disable the proxy for explorer as well. Don't ask me why, I was just messing around.

Weird though.... Do all things run through IE?

No, but IE does use your global OS internet settings instead of having its own proxy settings. You could have accomplished the same thing by accessing "Internet Options" from your control panel.

I think it's a vastly amusing thought that elephants are so afraid of heights that when Dwarves invented the Z-axis, they couldn't bear to face dwarves in combat anymore.
