Question How do I remove the Comcast cobranding from IE?

I used to have a command string that would restore the IE cobranding and remove third party cobrands.

What I am talking about is where it says "Internet Explorer provided by whomever".

Does someone have that command string? If I remember correctly it was a rather long string.

Change the Browser Title (XP Pro)

This tweak Customize the Title of the Internet Explorer.


1. Click Start > Run > Type gpedit.msc
2. Click User Configuration > Windows Setting > Internet Explorer
Maintenance > Browser User Interface
3. Double click on Browser Title
4. Click on Customize Title Bars
5. type in whatever you want
6. Click OK

Now you changed the title of your browser and you sure see what you wrote
when you open a New Widow.




Completely change Internet explorer title

1. start ->run-> gpedit.msc

2. choose User Configuration, Windows Settings, Internet Explorer
Maintainance, Browser User Interface, and doubleclick Browser Title.

3. Activate Customize Title Bars, and type something in there. Doesn't
matter what. Let's type: QWERTY. Click Okay.

4. Fire up Reg editor. (start, run, regedit)

5. goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main.

6. Look for the key: Window Title. There you'll find the value: Microsoft
Internet Explorer provided bt QWERTY.

7. Change this key to anythig you like and exit regedit.

8. Fire up IE and look at the titlebar!

Cool

Not exactly what I was looking for, but entertaining.

The command I am looking for basically resets all IE browser customizations and co-brands back to the defaults. It is a command issued from the START>RUN command line.

Thanks though for the entertainment. I would post a pic of my newly customized browser, however they would probably revoke my PCM membership.
