These files seems to be safe to delete from the installation source (taken from the original IE.INF:
InternetExplorer.rem

I ommited IEXPLORE.EXE because it needed to fool some programs that check if it is on the system before installing or even running.
I'd personally ommit MSHTML.DLL and MSHTML.TLB because I need them for running WebCraft.
Any ideas what else we can delete from the source? Or maybe what files we should keep from deleting?
