registry hack

I need help updating my registry...

I was able to remove the annoying "Comcast" branding from IE7 by running "rundll32.exe iedkcs32.dll,Clear" and editing the following keys in my registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Window Title
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\BrandBitmap

But how do I get rid of the Comcast icon (which replaced the Windows icon) in the upper right corner in Outlook Express?

Is there a special key under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{Identity ID}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express" that stores the brand of the icon?

I guess I could always try re-installing Outlook Express but I figured you guys must know.

Thanks!

I would vote for a re-install. I was looking thought technet and I can't find reference on how this is done. I'm sure it's something simple, however why spend the time? Re-installing Outlook is far to easy to beat your head over it.

No need to reinstall. . . .

"Restoring the Throbber Graphic

Cleaning up the throbber is a bit easier because both Internet Explorer and Outlook Express use the same registry settings. Ensure neither program is running, launch the registry editor and navigate to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar

Find and delete the following items (they may not all be present):

BigBitmap
SmallBitmap
BrandBitmap
SmBrandBitmap

Next, find this location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

Again, delete any of the items in the above list. Chances are, only the first two will be present, but don’t bet on it."

just the fact that you actually installed the comcast cd, and that you use IE and OE boggles my mind.
