Control Panel -> Add/Remove Windows Components. Uncheck Outlook Express. Click Next.

Unfortunately, that does not completely remove Outlook Express. Or at least not the component that is causing this vulnerability.

This won't ever work, you can't uninstall it, just like you can't uninstall IE. The OS requires it for some functionality. Although unistall instructions do exist some of the underlining layers will always be there including the mhtml handler.
