Apart from having to uninstall IE6 beforehand, and WMP9 also, you shouldn't
lose anything - but what would it gain you?
There aren't many circumstances where a reinstall is really indicated.

And one thing that reinstalling "over the top" will NOT do is remove
unwanted spyware, parasites, trojans, viruses and all those many other
things that cause problems to users.
