How do you change the rotating image in the top right corner of IE?

[sbsprinter]

Those of you that use IE, you know the image in the top right that rotates[moves] when a page is loading right? Do you know of a way to change that image?

 

[sbsprinter]

Anyone know?

It's in the registry, which OS are you running?

I'm running Win98se.

Well, I can bump this thread for you, but I don't have Win98SE so unfortunatley I can't check for you, come on, somebody must have Win98SE to look for this

Search the Microsoft data base. They explain how to do it. I did it a long time ago and it was simple enough. I just don't remember the details.

try Xteq.com for a great Win9x tweaking program. it can change the icon in IE, of course...

Get road runner cable modem, and it will change to a stupid road runner head.

There is a thread on this over in the HardOCP forums that explains how to do it, plus a few logos to use as well.

Basically, you find the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar key and add a string value called SmBrandBitmap. Just enter the path to the bmp you want to use as the value of SmBrandBitmap. You can use an animated logo for this one, which shows when IE is loading a page. You can also add another string value named SmallBitmap, which shows an image when IE is not busy.
