About three months ago I signed up with @home They installed their custom stuff onto my Microsoft Internet Explorer browser. Now the browser says "Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by @home" and has the @ emblem up in the right hand corner that spins around when loading or searching for a web site. I discontinued @home after about a month. However, I cannot get rid of the @home custom stuff that they injected into my browser. I definitely do not like it and want to get back to the real Microsoft Internet Browser without the @home junk affecting it.

I tried downloading the browser from Microsoft's web site, but it did not have any effect on the @home junk. I have tried to uninstall and delete every file I can find on my computer that has an @home file name on it, but cannot change the browser.

Do you know how I can get rid of the @home customized browser and go back to the original Microsoft browser that comes with my windows 98?

and then click OK.

You do not need to restart Windows for this change to take effect.

glc, worked liked a champ. I had same problem (?). The c in Clear needs to be capital, as you typed it. Took several tries until I got it, as usual.
