Internet explorer Branded as Comcast.

[Guest]

Hello All,

I was helping a friend get his internet connection setup with Comcast. I
had used my laptop to make sure that the internet connection was working
before the cable guy actually left. Anyway, My internet explorer has now
been branded as comcast. There's a little C with a red circle around it in
the top right corner where the globe used to be (below the X, _ , and the
minimize & maximize boxes). Comcast told me that I would have to change the
registry to get rid of it. I know for the general user, messing with the
registry is a dangerous thing, but I was wondering if anyone out there knows
how to change this. I'm using XP Professional, Internet Explorer 6, w/ SP2.

I've tried to unistall & reinstall, but that does not work. Comcast brand
still there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Thank you for the reply and it did work! Yeah! Do you think there is
anything else I may need to worry about since Comcast changed the registry of
IE? I unistalled the help center, and did not see anything else related to
Comcast on the add/remove programs menu.

Again THANKS SO MUCH!

Hi,

Likely not, though you may want to check the OE registry keys the article
mentions as well. It's pretty common for ISP's to do this.
