IE advt. at top of screen

[Mark Flynn]

At the very top of my screen (the Title Bar?) I see:
"WebSiteName.com - Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by Comcast
High-Speed Internet"
Also the task bar has screen tips displaying the same thing.
How do you get rid of, or change them?
Thanks, Mark Flynn

Thanks Don and Alan:
Worked like a charm with IE
However, I still have the "powered by Comcast" ad in the Outlook Express
title bar. But I can live with it.
Best regards, Mark Flynn

How to change the title text of Outlook Express.

To do this, go to the Registry Editor, and then go to the key
HKEY_CURRENT_ USER\Identities.
After that, you should see 1 or more cryptic codes.
Click on each or all of them to see which one says "Main Identity" on
the right side.
After that, expand it to Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 and
change "WindowTitle" to what you want it to be, probably just "Outlook
Express."
