vacating an embedded search provider

[Guest]

just upgraded to windows xp. previously used system in the UK and the system
is stuck with "internet explorer provided by BTopenworld" and often the
searchs relate to UK web. I just did upgrade to Internet explorer 7 from
microsoft downloads. The BT openworld thing is still there.
How can i get this out of the system?
I'm in the USA now. TG

At a Command Prompt issue:

rundll32.exe iedkcs32.dll,Clear

What you have is called a "Branded" IE. Do a search for IE Branding or
"Unbranding" IE and you will find more information.
