Can someone help me get rid of the animated AOL symbol
stuck in the top right hand corner of my browser. That
ignorant symbol got installed somehow in the past years,
and Microsoft's useless KB has no hits for it at all. AOL
snuck that crapy thing in there years ago, and updgrading
from W98 to W2k pro a year ago did nothing, service packs
had no effect, then updgrading to every new ver of IE did
nothing. Microsoft is useless against AOL's spinning icon.
I bet they are proud. I am on v6, but that crapy AOL icon
starts spinning every time I browse somewhere. I want to
replace that ugly icon with my own, if AOL can force that
crap on me, then I will put my own icon in there. AOL is
for idiots.

Thanks a million!
