Deleting Internet Explorer and Comparing Registries

For this lab we examine the difference in registries after deleting Internet Explorer.

First we began by saving the entire registry before deleting Internet Explorer, and then again after. I searched the registry for "Internet Explore" before and after the deletion. It appeared that no changes to the registry were made. The screenshot below shows the different file sizes proving that some changes were in fact made.

Using WinMerge I compared the two registry backups we made in step one. From the screenshot below, you can see that there were 614 total differences.
