    Not true. There have been security vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer that were able to effect users even if they didn't use it as the default browser. And IE's dll's sit in memory. Windows Explorer uses IE's shell. If there's a security vulnerability in IE's shell, then there's a security vulnerability in Windows Explorer.

    Wrong. IE is part of Windows. Windows explorer uses IE's shell for the desktop and rest of the GUI. And many programs use IE files such as shdocvw.dll to render their HTML-based GUIs. Additionally, Microsoft classifies Internet Explorer as an OS component.
