When it comes to sponsorship, branding is good. When it comes to Web browsers, branding is not so good. When you surf the Net, is Internet Explorer semi-skinned by a company's name and spinning logo? Get it outta there! That is, if you so desire. First, be sure all browser windows are closed completely. Then, click on the Start button, run the 'Run' applet, and enter: "rundll32.exe iedkcs32.dll,Clear" (sans quotes). Press 'OK' and presto! Restart IE and everything should be hunky dory. This tactic will also work when IE's interface isn't working as well as it should. Restoration is so refreshing, especially when you didn't want it in the first place. NOTE: this should work on all platforms running IE 4.x or 5.x. I don't believe that IE 2.x is supported. Anybody still running that?!
