I've gotten rid of one of the links, but the wallpaper is still there. Any thoughts?

got this removed, but now IE6 won't work at all Any help out there?

I'd say use FireFox, but for WinUpdate etc you still need the IE engine anyhow. You can reinstall IE by downloading it off Microsoft again. There is also a redist (redistributable version) that is useful to have (eg: does not need internet to install it).
