Re: Windows Logo
The script deletes the entire String Value. No trace left behind. Note that
there's no space and no "s" in the name of the value: "WindowTitle". I put
in a silly string and while it appeared in the OE title bar, it did not
affect IE's.
I'm afraid you'll have to hope that Glen's info leads you to the rest of
your answers. I answered your question by reading the script and
experimenting. I have no idea where the stuff is that deals with those
menus. Does the menu look right, just not go to the right place? If so,
search the Registry for at least a partial string of the destination --
"AOL" is a string I'd search for, as an example. If clicking some menu item
lands you at a website, try searching the Registry for the main domain name
, sub-domain string... If the menu does not look correct, says something
about AOL, search the Registry for the improper items -- If it says, "AOL
Help", you could search for that.
I used to recommend reinstalling IE over the top, and in drastic situations
I still do. But I no longer recommend the overinstall lightly, it's not a
neat process and can leave problems in its wake, I doubt you consider this
issue a drastic one, and I'm not even sure it would work.
Do be sure to follow proper Registry editing practices and File>Export every
Key you intend to edit before proceeding.
