Stupid aol has leeched itself on my IE so that at the top it says the website and the normal "Microsoft Internet Explorer" but now it's got the added "provided by America Online" wtf?
so like right now it says, "Post a message - Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by America Online"


SCREW YOU AOL! Anyway, how do I get rid of that crap without getting rid of aol from my computer? (my mom uses it even though we have a cable modem.........ugh, I'm trying to fix that) but until then I don't want any of that stupid aol on my stuff...




help anyone?
 
There is a program that allows you to rename IE. You could change it back to just "Microsoft Internet Explorer" - My brain is broken right now, but I'm gonna try and find it for you. I'll pm you if I find it.
 
I saved this along time ago...

"If you upgraded your copy of IE by installing from a CD from AOL, MSN, etc., then you have probably noticed that the title bar now says "Internet Explorer provided by [Company Name]". To change this information, run Regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main. In this folder you'll see the key "Window Title" with the value of the text currently being displayed in your browser's title bar. Change it as you see fit. Also located in this folder are two other keys called "SmallBitmap" and "BigBitmap". These are the logos that are displayed on the browser's frame (e.g. the morphing AOL logo). The value of these keys will tell you where on your drive the bitmap files are stored. You then can modify them, create new bitmaps, or change the location to a bitmap file of your choice. "
 
Same problem happened to me. I just reinstalled Internet Explorer, even though I should have asked here, I was just being to lazy to find out how to actually do it. Thanks, now I know.
