want to change IE6 toolbar logo

[Chris Nellist]

After I allowed Hotmail to put cookies on my machine, the logo I'd created
on my IE toolbar was replaced with the default fluttering-Windows logo. How
do I restore my own logo?

I'm using IE6 with XP Pro.

I have tried the following registry hack but it hasn't worked:

*********************************
goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNET EXPLORER\TOOLBAR

create the following string values:

BigBitmap
SmallBitmap
BrandBitmap
SmBrandBitmap

with values the pathnames to .bmp files as follows:

38x38 pixels
22x22 pixels
38x380 pixels (strip)
22x220 pixels (strip)

*********************************

I have also tried

*********************************
goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNET EXPLORER\MAIN

create only:

BigBitmap
SmallBitmap

with values the pathnames to .bmp files as above

*********************************

and this hasn't worked either.

What might I be doing wrong?

Should I be creating some strings at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNET EXPLORER\TOOLBAR
and others at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNET EXPLORER\MAIN
or what?

Or is there something else Microsoft has put in my registry that I should
remove first?

Cheers,

Chris

Right-click on the icon, choose properties, then click on "Change Icon", and
you should be able to change it to the custom icon you made.
