I think, even if IE itself is not there, it's building blocks are
(mshtml.dll ).

E.g. HtmlHelp (a system component) uses same rendering engine.

Actually, if anyone is "bugged" around here, it is the rest of us for seeing your constant
putdown of codeproject. Note that the correct term is "buggy". I presume you have
written a better version, and have made it available...

That is not possible. You are confusing "what browswer the user likes" from "what is
built into Windows". Even if the user deletes the iexplorer.exe, that is just a wrapper
around the basic HTML control. And lots and lots of components of Windows depend on its
existence.

You are worrying about a problem that cannot exist.

What made you think I was confused?

There are some articles on the web that, although strongly advise
against, show how to completely remove IE from their machines.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer#Removal
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removal_of_Internet_Explorer

I don't seem to find a definitive article from MS that indicate that
CHTMLView, (or similar APIs), will work on Windows regardless if IE is
installed or not.

Sure, that even says:

"The dependencies are not removed through this process, but the Internet
Explorer executable (iexplore.exe) is removed without harming any other
Windows components."

By the way, Safari is integrated to OS X the same way: WebKit (rendering
engine) cannot be removed.
