Hi all,
I am using IE6.0.2900 on XPsp2. How do I go about changing the default
waving flag throbber to the good old spinning globe throbber?
 
Thanks Frank,
I've tried the tool mentioned on the second link, with no joy.
I also took a look at the first link ,but I don't have msn installed.
When I installed XP, IE6 had the multi colored flag with a white
background as the throbber but I would like to put the spinning globe that
came as the default throbber in the older versions of I.E.

Could the spinning globe (bmp) be hiding in the shell32.dll. If so how do
I view the contents of the shell32. Then maybe, if the spinning globe (bmp)
is there I can edit the registry and point it to the appropriate directory.
Do you know offhand the bmp# that is associated with the spinning globe.
Thanks for helping.

Here's the KB article with the relevant registry entries you'll need to
modify:

How to Restore the Animated Internet Explorer Logo
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q176713

You'll have to get the older "spinning globe" animated bitmap files off a
machine that has 'em.

Go here for a neat little program that'll change it for you - with more
information, too:

There's also MyLogo: http://www.edensoft.com/mylogo/index.html

Bit more information here:

Or you can remove it altogether: http://toastytech.com/files/throboff.html
 
Thanks to all,
I have installed tweakui and it has solved the problem. I now have the
spinning globe.
 
I was just going to post the old IE ones for you.
When I updated to IE6sp1, I hated the flag.
I found the IE administrative kit has a tool and complete directions.
But then I snagged them from an old IE4 kit.
So, I am glad you resolved it.
