On the title bar of Internet Explorer on my computer it has after the name "provided by Wanadoo". It came when I put in a Wanadoo CD over a year ago. I don't use Wanadoo as an ISP. Is there any way to get rid of it?

Don't say something about using another browser. I do use other browsers, I just don't want that message there anymore.

Just because the title bar is named Wanadoo doesn't mean that you are using their ISP service.

The title bar can be customed using either a third-party program or by editting the registry yourself, which I wouldn't suggest if you do not know what you are looking for. You can seriously screw up your computer if you modify something that you shouldn't. Other than that, you can just leave it because it's nothing more than cosmetic.

What third party programme?

What is Wanadoo ?

It was an ISP, but they don't exist anymore.

Oh, i thought it was some sort of program.

But why did they give a CD ? What's on it ?

It's one of those free CDs that installs things on your computer so it can use them.

I didn't know they do that. (it must be an EU thing :mischief:) My provider was probably to cheap to spend money on CDs. :)

Happens over here in the US as well.

Not that I need it now (new 'puter) but I'd like to know where that registry entry is anyways.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

Modify/Create the Value Name [Window Title] according to the Value Data listed below.
Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: Window Title
Value Data: [Enter The Text Desired In Title Bar]
Exit Registry and Reboot

Cool, thanks. I was sure I could google it, but I was also sure if I said what I said someone would do it for me. ;)

Seriously, thanks for the link.

Np. googling is what I do. :D :D

I remember that TweakUI let you change that in 98, but I'm not sure about 2k or XP.

If you have a problem in IE, here's the solution, get FF, it's so much better.

Wanadoo was France Telecom's former Internet provider. Now they have renamed it Orange, just like their mobile phone branch. And Orange is present in the UK, I saw that first hand when I went to London in December. ;) So I guess Chukchi uses or used Wanadoo/Orange ?

That's not always an acceptable solution.

Not to mention that FF is kludge.
