Ya know how @home and AOL etc. takes over Internet Explorer? I found a commandline thingy to remove all of that on Lockergnome ages ago but of course I cannot find it again. Does anyone know what I am talking about? Its not the drugs, really! It was a way to flush out all that stuff. Anyone able to help? Thanks! |

No no its not the drugs. It takes over the browser and says Internet Explorer by @home and has the @home icon or such in the title bar, etc. Surely someone knows!!! |

If you have downloaded Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 Public Release from ANY other web site than Microsoft's, you may have a so-called "branded" IE5 version, which might have a different name and/or spinning logo, usually displaying that company's name/logo.
But if you want your "original" (unmodified) IE5 copy back, there are a few things you can do:
First, make sure to close ALL IE5 browser windows.
Even if you have already installed a "branded" copy of IE5, you can always reinstall it. Open the folder IE5's installation files reside into, and move the Branding.cab file to another location. Now download Microsoft's original Branding.cab [7 KB, free].
Place it into your IE5 Setup folder. Reinstall IE5. No need to uninstall it beforehand, ONLY IF you first installed the current version: IE5 Public Release 32-bit for Windows 9x/NT4 (Intel platforms), build 5.00.2314.1000 (second "silent" release), BUG fixed. To tell exactly your IE5 vesion/build, open your IE5 folder, and right-click on Iexplore.exe. Select Properties, and click the Version tab.
To revert IE5's title to its original (Microsoft Internet Explorer), start Regedit.exe 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.exe 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.
NOTE: These IE5 Registry "fixes" apply also to ALL Internet Explorer 4.0x 32-bit versions.
To further customize your MS IE interface, read the "CUSTOM IE 4/5 TOOLBAR" topic, also in REGISTRY.TXT, part of my Win9x/DOS7 ©Tricks + Secrets Files [W95-11D.ZIP].

I have seen what you are talking about. My ISP is the local phone company, and the version of IE that they ship me is modified with "provided by Telus" all over it. I don't, however, know of a program that removes it. I just don't use the version that they supply. I update the original from Win2K using windows update. |
