    No, you'd need to visit Windows Update after running the repair but your programmes, documents, etc would not be lost. That said, it's always a good idea to back things up!

    Have you tried repairing IE itself?

    Mur,
    Do all your back ups, JIC. Sometines a repair does "lose" stuff. If there is anything you really don't want to lose, burn it, just to be on the safe side.
