I need to completely remove IE 5.0 off about
30 Win NT 4.0 Client computers. As we all
know when you remove something in microsoft,
it always leaves some of the programs
"remains" installed on the client computers
(i.e. Dll's). If anyone knows I would
greatly appreciate your response. Thanks,
and Happy Holidays!

The answer is "with great difficulty." I'm not even sure if it's possible w/IE5. I do know that Microsoft had instructions for removing older versions (IE3? IE4?). I suggest you search the MSKB (Knowledge Base). I believe you have to edit the Evil Registry, manually delete files, etc.

Hi, take a look at the following article:http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q217/3/44.ASP

make sure to cut and paste the url with no spaces and without wrapping.

Anyway, this article addresses removing ie5.0. You also are referred to other knowledge base articles if you need more information or you need to track down a specific error message. Additional keywords are at the botoom of the page to help you refine your search if necessary. I hope this helps.
