I guess I wasn't very clear. Sorry. To try to be clearer the following is something I have just recently found and works on my IE 5.5 with Windows 98.
I don't really understand it but it works on mine.
---------------------
Click on "Start" then run
then type in the following:
rundll32.exe iedkcs32.dll,Clear
then click on [OK}
This should return IE to the non-branded state.
----------------------
Here is another method that is more involved but may be of interest:
What I have done in the past is make a backup copy of the part of the registry that controls this, when it is the way I want it to be, and then when something changes my Browser Title, search page, start page, etc, I can double click on that back
up copy to restore my IE 5.5 to what it was before.
On my computer these are in this part of the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
This is how I did it:
Click on Start
Click on Run
Type "regedit"
Click on OK
This will open Registry Editor.
Click on edit
from drop down menu click on Find
Type in the window part of the message you want to change,
such as "provided by", "Name of FISP", etc.
Click on "Find Next" until you stop at the message to be changed.
This should bring you to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
with "Window Title" selected or highlighted, or at least it did for me.
Click on "Registry"
From the drop down menu Click on "Export Registry File"
From the next menu select a place to save the file to and give it a name.
At this point you should have
the file saved, as a back up with a "reg" extension, to the location you selected. Double clicking on this file will restore it to this condition if you need to. You can check it with Windows Explorer, if you like, open it with edit and it should have the same info inside of it.
With "Window Title" still selected click on "Edit"
From drop down menu click on "Modify"
A pop up window should come up with the title to be edited in its window.
Edit the title to what you what.
Click on OK.
You can save the modified version the same way you saved the edited version and if another ISP changes it again after a new installation you can double click on it to restore to this condition.
You can also edit the text in this so you don't need to go into the registry to change it.
I used a similar procedure to change Outlook Express.
If you aren't comfortable in the registry or don't follow what I am trying to say you probably s
houldn't try this. You can end up with bigger problems if you change the wrong thing in the registry.
