Dear September Morn,
Sorry about taking so long about getting back to you, I had a small problem with the regesry of my computer that I had to fix, but any way I'm glad you got your problem solved but for future reference if you ever want to disable your IE then simply go in to add and remove programs and on the left of the screen you will see add and remove windows components click on this then when the list opens simply "uncheck IE" and click ok then restart your computer and you should be fine.
