I have no idea what has happened or when it happened. BUT
you know in the upper right hand corner of the browser bar
and in Outlook Express' browser bar is the Microsoft
image. Well somehow on my Internet Explorer bar it says
MicroSoft Internet Explorer brought to you by AOL and
their triangle image shows up. When my browser is doing
the search, the Microsoft image and the AOL image "fight"
back and forth while doing the search. When the search is
done, the AOL image comes back.

I've installed and uninstalled Microsoft several times,
but the AOL image keeps coming back. I don't even have
AOL installed on my computer!!! The only AOL installed is
the instant messenger.

Can anyone help me get rid of this and have it go back to
the Microsoft image.......and the message at the
top......Microsoft Internet Explorer brought to you by
Microsoft. It's getting frustrating and I don't know what
else to do!!!

Thanks for anyone's help.

Hi Annette,
Try this
How do I remove the "provided by ..." branding in the OE
title bar?

This branding is a customization added by whomever
provided your copy of IE/OE. If your OE is branded, your
IE is probably also branded. Removing the branding
requires that you edit the registry. Start > Run > type
in Regedit hit OK

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.

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.
