Once you have downloaded the browsers it is impossible to delete them. Not
only that, if you try, it will be deemed illegal and you will find the whole
weight of the European Union breathing down your neck ready to take you to
prison

Ive now been able to find this post again, but I still don't have an answer
to the question: I don't want to get rid of the browsers I have, I want to
get rid of the message that comes on every time I reboot, asking me to choose
new browsers. As I mentioned before, this message also comes with a warning
that the certificate is invalid, even though it comes from Microsoft. I'm
tired of having to cancel this message every time I reboot: how can I get rid
of it??

Many thanks for any constructive replies--

The best way is to delete the file that's giving you grief.
Unfortunately it's a system file so you have to take
ownership before you can delete it.
Log on to an account with administrative privileges.
Navigate to c:\windows\system32.
Find a file called 'browserchoice.exe'
Right-click the file and select 'Properties'.
Select the Security tab.
Click on the Advanced button.
Select the Owner tab.
Click on Edit.
In the box 'Change owner to: ' select 'administrators'.
OK your way back out accepting any messages.
Now you have to give yourself permission to delete it:
Select the Security tab again.
Click on Edit, select administrators and select Full Control.
Ok your way back out.
Now you can delete the file.
