How to reinstall Windows Explorer within XP

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I got a friend of mine that accidently went into Add or Remove Programs and
removed "Google Internet Explorer" and now she has no Windows Internet
Explorer at all. I know she can go a download it off Microsoft's website, but
if she has no browser that works then she has no way of accessing the site.
So my question is how do I reinstall Internet Explorer from within XP?

Have the XP CD in the drive and then go to start/Run and enter the
following line....
(Note this is all one line...may wrap when posted here)
If it does wrap....there is a space between 132 and %windir%

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132
%windir%\inf\ie.inf
