How do I remove the Wanadoo icon from Internet Explorer?

Was wondering if anyone knows how I can change the icon in my Internet Explorer window? I currently have the wanadoo icon displaying in the upper right hand corner of my IE window and would like to revert back to the 'e' IE logo thingy?

I have successfully updated the registry to change the title in the window so that it doesn't mention wanadoo.
Do I have to do something similar to change the logo.

Thanks

    Easy Download http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx 147kb its about the 8th down on the left.

    Install it aswell, then got to, Start, All Programs, Powertoys, TeakUI
    then click on Internet Explorer, and change Small or Large Busy Icons
  • To remove all Internet Explorer branding:

    Click Start - Run
    Type in: rundll32.exe iedkcs32.dll,Clear

    Open My Computer, and Browse to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer. Delete the folder SIGNUP. Restart Internet Explorer.

    I know this works with IE 6, probably works with others.
