Q: I wanted to update IE 5.0 to 5.5 without downloading it on my 56k, so I thought lets u0026quot, use one of those isp free CDs that come in the mail every week or so. u0026quot, Big Mistake. After installing IE 5.5, my browser title now says u0026quot; IE provided by EarthLink Network, Inc. u0026quot, and the icon is now an ugly Earthlink icon. Does anyone know how to fix this? How to get rid of all these junk Earthlink?
Ive tried to remove, reinstall / remove, eventually downloading IE 5.5 still try to solve the problem, but nothing worked. Thanks for any help.
Re:Actually it's in the registry.
In Regedit, navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Identities
\{GUID}
\Software
\Microsoft
\Outlook Express
\5.0
In the right-hand pane, right-click on the value WindowTitle and then click Delete. Or click on Modify and enter the title of your choice.
To remove the branding from IE, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software
\Microsoft
\Internet Explorer
\Main
In the right-hand pane, right-click on the value Window Title (note the blank space) and then click Delete. Or click on Modify and enter the title of your choice.
To remove the custom logo from IE, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software
\Microsoft
\Internet Explorer
\Toolbar
In the right-hand pane, right-click on BrandBitmap and click Delete, then do the same for SmBrandBitmap.
Re:Yep, its not uncommon at all to have companies brand their own IE. We have our own, and send it out to customers that want it.
I didn't realize changing it was that easy though…good to know
Re:<< Go to Start – Run then type:
* *rundll32.exe iedkcs32.dll,Clear
and that should reset it back to normal. >>
omg, i don't believe it. Thank you so much!!! I figured it must have something to do with windows itself cause only 98SE had this problem. In win2k, it works fine. But anyway, it works! Thanks a lot!
