I move around often. Finding a new ISP is not difficult.
My question is about the text in the Internet Explorer
banner. If you don't know how to modify this text you are
stuck with your last providers name in this
banner "Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by coXXX.Net"
How can I remove the "provided by coXXX.Net" part of the
banner? I have cable broadband now and they don't bother
with replacing/removing this.

Thanks

Go to this page, http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Click on the RIGHT-HANDcolumn at item number 8. It is a little program that
will remove the ISP branding. I think it does this by modifying the
registry, but I'm not sure. However it does it, it does work, and is safe.
Alternatively, you can follow the instructions here,

fiddling with the registry.

Forgot about this method, much easier than editing the registry;

Start > Run > "Rundll32 IedkCS32.dll, Clear" (no quotes).
[clip and paste the parameter in your Run Box, without the quotes]
