One of the best ways to find left over pieces of a supposedly deleated program,
is to go into the DOS window, or C:\ Be sure you are no longer showing 'windows'
as the directory. Using a cd\ and enter will get you to the C:\ prompt.	
	
Type: dir/b corel*.* /s  Press enter.	
	
This will search all directories on the entire hard drive for any reference to
'corel', or whatever word you place there.	
	
Use the information shown on the screen to go into the proper directory and
remove the unwanted file fragments. 	
	
DOS has many powerful tools that Windows takes away from users. there is a lot
more to a computer, then point and click.	
	
Then reset the default for MSIE as another person indicated.
