I know this has been asked a million times but I just cannot find the
answer, so help please.

How do I get rid of the Freeserve branding on OE6 (XP) and the annoying
bottom pain (the one at the very bottom)?

Many thanks for you time and patience.

Regards

Not sure if it's the same in XP, but in 98 to change
the titlebar "provided by" needs a few regedits

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\*****************\Software\Microsoft\Out
look Express\5.0\Window title

to do same in IE.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Window
title

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Window
title

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Window
title

As for the bottom pane (infopane)
View\Layout\ uncheck infopane
Alternatively you can change it to something useful
using regedit again.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\******************\Software\Microsoft\Ou
tlook Express\5.0\BodyBarPath

Hi,
To remove Freeserve branding:
(This response on the same topic was provided by another user some time ago.
prior toXP.


To remove the Freeserve logo:

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Go to the directory C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Signup
3. You will find four bitmap files named 22.bmp, 22s.bmp, 38.bmp and
38s.bmp. Rename these files as ~22.bmp. ~22s.bmp, ~38.bmp and ~38s.bmp.
4. If you installed Freeserve from an early version of their CD,
you may also have a file named toolbar.bmp in the same folder. If so, rename
that file as ~toolbar.bmp
The logos in Internet Explorer and Outlook Express will now revert to the
standard Microsoft versions.

To remove the "little Freeserve window" at the bottom of Outlook Express:

1. Open Outlook Express
2. Click on View
3. Click on Layout
4. Untick the box marked Info Pane


To remove the Freeserve wording from the headers in Internet Explorer and
Outlook Express:

1. From your desktop, click on Start
2. Click on Run
3. Type regedit and click on OK
4. In the Registry Editor click on Edit/Find and in the box presented make
sure all the options are checked. Then do a search against the value
"provided by Freeserve" (type these words exactly as per the Window Title in
Outlook Express)
5. The search should identify the correct registry entry - against
a key name of WindowTitle (Not Window_Title).
6. Double click on the name "WindowTitle" and edit out the words "provided
by Freeserve".
7. You will need to repeat steps 4,5 & 6 repeatedly - to remove any multiple
instances of the words "provided by Freeserve".
8. Don't change anything else in the Registry
9. Exit from the Registry Editor.
Good luck,

I'm not sure if this is entirely up to date though.
