Internet Exporer Problem

[PlantATree]

A friend of mine installed PeoplePC on her computer and then uninstalled it by going through the Windows unistall program. Now when she starts Internet Explorer she gets an error message and it wont work. It also says Internet Explorer Provided by PeoplePC at the top. I had her try and reinstall Internet Explorer but this did not work. Any ideas?

For your second problem maybe this will help.
Restoring the MS animated logo in MSIE 4.x and 5.x:
To restore the animated Internet Explorer logo, delete the BrandBitmap and SmBrandBitmap string values under the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar
After you make this change, quit Registry Editor and restart your computer.

Adding a Customized Windows Title to Internet Explorer, MSIE 3.x and up:
Using Registry Editor, add the String value "Window Title" (without quotation marks) to the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
The data value is the title you want to appear on the Internet Explorer window.
NOTE: In Windows NT, the value should be type REG_SZ instead of String.

Removing a Customized MSIE 3.x and up Title Bar:
Using Registry Editor, delete the Window Title value in the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
When you delete this value, "Microsoft Internet Explorer" becomes the default window title.
