People putting their logos on your computer? Terrible. Some companies just have no class. Even worse, they rely on the fact that the average computer user is unwilling or unable to hack their registry to get rid of the offensive logos.

I have a secret for you. It's easier than you think to remove the branding from your Internet Explorer browser.

1. Gaze upon your branded logo for the last time.
2. Close all browser windows.
3. Go to Start, choose Run, and type or paste "rundll32 iedkcs32.dll,Clear" without the quotes.
4. Hit Enter.
5. Open a browser window. Jump with joy as you gaze upon your default browser branding.

OK, stop celebrating; I am about to rain on your parade. Now that you have your default browser back, may I offer the opinion that your browser is still branded? Yes, it's branded with the Internet Explorer logo rather than your ISP's, but it is branded nonetheless. Microsoft has its face all over everything else, does it really need to be in your browser too? The answer, of course, is no. You do not need to look at the Internet Explorer logo spinning in the corner. You can look at whatever you want! Maybe a picture of yourself spinning in the corner, or an eye blinking open and closed, or a dog running or even the dancing baby we used in our segment. The process will take you a few minutes, but the steps are simple and straightforward, and it's worth it! Go here to find out how.
