| 150606 | 2003-06-07 08:47:00 | I am posting on behalf of a colleague. She has windows 98 and IE 5.5. Originally she was with clear and has since changed to xtra. She has removed the dialler to clear. When she connects to xtra the correct info is displayed on the dialler and it connects no problem. When she opens up IE on the very top of the browser it dsiplays "powered by clear" ( or something like that) yet the homepage is Xtra. Why? Also the reason why we need to change that is because when she clicks on search (on the xtra website) it comes up as 'page cannot displayed'. I am not sure if this is the reason but I need to change this anyway. sam m |

If you are comfortable editing the registry, try this: Navigate to- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main If you can see a key called "Window Title" simply delete it. Of course the usual precautions regarding registry editing should be observed! |

| 150609 | 2003-06-07 09:11:00 | This comes about because probably IE was supplied by Clear, or the software they supplied wrote an entry to the Registry. The heading for Internet Explorer is in the Registry at this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main In the right hand pane of Regedit is an entry Window Title, and it will have a value like "Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by Clear" or something like that. If you are happy with editing the Registry, this entry could be modified just to read "Microsoft Internet Explorer" If you click on the FAQs button at the top of this page, FAQ #6 will explain some of the mysteries of the Registry :) |

Follow the steps given above to remove the line from your title bar, but this won't have any effect on your ability to search. All this is is a string in the registry that tells Internet Explorer to display more info in the title bar - you can type anything you want in there and it'll be displayed in IE. There is probably some other reason that causes you to be unable to go to the search page. Mike. |
