Hi Debra, this page proviedes the instructions for removing branding; http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/faqs/how.htm#debrand Removing the branding requires that you edit the registry. In Regedit, navigate to this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Identities \{GUID} \Software \Microsoft \Outlook Express \5.0 In the right-hand pane, right-click on the value WindowTitle and then click Delete. Or click on Modify and enter the title of your choice. To remove the branding from IE, navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software \Microsoft \Internet Explorer \Main In the right-hand pane, right-click on the value Window Title (note the blank space) and then click Delete. Or click on Modify and enter the title of your choice. If the value Window Title does not appear, check under this key instead: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software \Microsoft \Internet Explorer \Main To remove the custom logo from IE, navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software \Microsoft \Internet Explorer \Toolbar In the right-hand pane, right-click on BrandBitmap and click Delete, then do the same for SmBrandBitmap.

(dial-up) did not add anything to my I.E. title bar...it just said, "Microsoft Internet Explorer." After I switched to DSL, my I.E. title bar states "Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by Sympatico" This creates extra typing for me for my pop-up remover, because I have to type to whole title bar message in. Thank you for your replies. I'm not an advanced user, so I'm not going to change my registry settings, even if I did know what to do. Guess I'll just have to put up with the pop-up's...
