As a matter of security shouldn't IE be dis-abled on a SQL Server?

What if you're having to locally manage the server and need to look something up in MSDN (for example)?

True..
I was asking because last place I worked had it disabled, new place doesn't.
Wasn't sure if it created a vunerability.

I think of it this way: If someone has already gotten far enough into your security to be logged in to the server's desktop in such a way that they could launch IE if it were enabled, you have much bigger problems than their access to IE.
Even if IE is disabled, that doesn't stop someone from using FTP to download Firefox, for example, and use that. And so on.
