I was hoping someone can help me. I had the same problem a few months
ago with IE8beta and uninstalled it. On rebooting, up popped the
missing IESetting.dll. I tried reinstalling IE7 with no luck. I had to
reinstall XP back down to IE6. I had recently worked up the courage to
install IE7...and you guested it... missing IESetting.dll pops up
again and I'm looking like having to re-install XP again as I can't
find for love or money a dll file called IESetting.dll
Any ideas?

Are you currently running IE7 or IE6?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)? Were any of these applications active when you installed IE8 Beta
1, uninstalled IE8 Beta 1, and/or reinstalled IE7?

as my anti-spyware with no third-party firewall. IE8 was installed
with these application running at the time. On uninstalling IE8
IESetting.dll missing message pop up and prevented Explore from
loading. I can access some applications through task manager but not
all. . I eventually reinstalled XP over the top, which restored IE6. I
was upgrading to IE7 when the same thing occurred. The diiference
being I made sure all anti-virus programs, firewalls, anti-spyware
were turned off be for starting. I therefore assume the problem most
of still being there for the previous installation of XP.I tried
uninstalling IE7 via task manager but the system flags missing files
and refuses to uninstall. It won't re-install IE7 because the
cryptograpihc service wont run etc etc

What I did was start windows then pull up the task manager. From there I ran
a new task and ran 'appwiz.cpl' straight from the run line. This pulls up
Add/Remove Programs. I then proceeded to uninstall IE7 and this fixed the
problem for me. Hope that helps.......

You both seem to be hinting that explorer.exe wasn't runnable?

I don't think that installing IE is likely to be responsible for that.
You may be missing some other source of interference...

E.g. you may be stuck at IE6 because something else you have installed
can only work with that version and breaks badly (evidently) when a more
secure version of IE is installed.
