Purple IE branding by Packard Bell

[Mike]

New Packard Bell WinXP system has Internet Explorer and Outlook Express with
dark purple toolbar wallpaper with the words Packard Bell on it. The colour
is such that the icon titles can hardly be read. Could someone please tell
me how to remove this and return to default. Many thanks.

Thanks Ramesh for your time. The run line from your IE FAQ:

"Rundll32 IedkCS32.dll, BrandCleanInstallStubs",

did not work as BrandCleanInstallStubs was not recognised by in another
newsgroup the similar line:

"rundll32.exe iedkcs32.dll,Clear",

was suggested and did work for me. Thanks again for your response.

Both works, Michael. Not sure why it did n't. [may be spacing or case-sensitive]
