Neighbor's Compaq PC crashed. I did a quickrestore for him using an old
backup. However, when he LAST did a backup, he had worldnet.att.net as a
dialup ISP (and IE was provided by them on a CD). So, in IE if I click on
Help - then - Online Support, it brings me to att.net homepage - not Msft
support page. I went into registry and hacked that one link to go to
support.microsoft.com, but I see lots of similiar references in registry,
so .....

How to "clean up" IE ? To make it as if downloaded from msft - not a third
party. Easily. Is there a tool at microsoft support somewhere ? ( I
checked but could find- maybe using wrong search terms) I don't want to
have to install Firefox (another browser), then uninstall IE, then
download IE from msft. Then install IE, then uninstall Firefox...
Thanks very much for any pointers.

Windows verson? IE version? Is the machine (now) fully-patched at Windows
Update?

Hi,
Which version of Windows?
Which version of Internet Explorer?

For IE6 see:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ie/ispunbrand.htm
I'm not sure the file or command lines on that page are safe/effective for
IE7.

Hope this helps,
Don

Hosted on the same site as filthy pornographic material created by
butts, blocks access (according to butts) to reputable malware sites, no
backup of deleted files/data..... Do you really want to trust something
like that?
