    Hmm. I have to say that, on the surface, this sounds very unlikely to
me. One big reason: IE relies on -- and updates -- system files and shared
files, and not simply those files in the Internet Explorer folder. At best,
what I suspect you are seeing is that the legacy browser framework may
persist, but that the guts of the browser are entirely updated.
