UNSOLVED
browser
Hi,
I installed an earthlink internet service cd yesterday on my computer, but I changed my mind later. So I uninstalled them today but found something had been changed with my internet explorer. On the top line the sentence " Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by Dell" has been changed to "microsoft internet explorer provided by Earthlink" though I am using dellnet, plus, the former revolting earth icon on the top right corner has been changed into another strange icon which is probably provided by earthlink too.
The IE works as usual, but I just want to get rid of these annoying changes. You don't want somebody uninvited sitting in your bedroom all day, right?
Thank you in advance!

To revert IE5's title to its original (Microsoft Internet Explorer), go to start/run/ type in Regedit and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Look in the right hand pane for the "Window Title" String. You can either modify it to show the original name (see above), or delete it.
To get back the MS IE5 spinning globe logo, open Regedit and go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar
In the right hand pane, double-click on the "BrandBitmap" String, and delete its value, or delete the entire "BrandBitmap" String. Do the same with "SmBrandBitmap".
Restart IE5. Voila! The original title name and logo have been restored. If you're not comfortable doing the reg hacks yourself, you can always download X-setup5.6, a great free reg tweeker to make this change and many others for you.
