    Hi All , My Internet Explorer heading says "provided by the FreeInternet.com" which is an ISP that I no longer use. I would like to revert to the Standard Microsoft Header but can't find anywhere I can change the setting, can anyone help please ?
    Thanks
    Mike

    You would have to edit the registry to do this, if you feel comfortable doing this. Hit the start button, select Run. Type in regedit.exe, then press enter or click OK.
    In the left pane of Registry Editor navigate to this key:
    H_Key_Users\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
    In the right pane:
    Right click on the entry named Window Title, then select Modify. Change it to what you like, you can give yourself a greeting. But, the default will not be there.
