IE Activity Indicator

[Guest]

I have a non-critical question that my curiosity is just forcing me to post. I have five machines, all running IE 6 with the current updates. One machine runs W2k, the others are all WinXP Pro. On the W2k machine and two of the XP ones, the activity indicator in IE (upper right hand corner) is a rotating glove. On the other two machines, it is a waving MS flag. My question is why the difference?

Someone "branded" the instance of IE to use different icons. For Windows
XP, you can use its TweakUI power toy to select what icon to use. For
Windows 2000, I think you can used the IEAK to modify IE (although maybe a
reinstall of IE [where you select to reinstall all components rather than
just refresh them] might be easier).

Thank you. It isn't worth the effort to change it, but I was curious as to the reason for the difference.
