How do you get rid of the MS flag in the upper right corner of explorer?

Reply #1 July 24, 2003 1:41 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

I know that answer.
WebBlinds, it's called a Throbber. The flag that is. You can make something else to take it's place. You need WebBlinds to view the one you create.

P.S. WebBlinds comes with Object Desktop.

I used an exacto knife. 

or you can use YZ's Toolbar  http://yz.designtechnika.com/software/yztoolbar/index_en.html

Thanks Keila. I only have SS and WB4 and since IE is skinned already by WB I dont want to run another program just to get rid of the flag.I was hoping for a hack or setting that would make it disappear from IE and explorer completely.It looks so tacky there.

Have you used any of those Koasati?The shadows or toolbar?Sounds interesting but still running another app just to get the flag to go away.Tho the ability to replace the icons might be fun.Too bad iconpackager cant handle those two.

I use YZ's Toolbar all the time.....   The shadow, I don't care for, drags my system down.

Yeah,as good as they look so did window fx on my 1 gig system.Might give the toolbar a shot.

Couldnt find that particular tweak.I even searched thru their additional plugins,...where did you see this particular tweak?

Thanks Koasati...YZ's Toolbar is great,takes about 4mb but the change was worth it.The icons alone are a great improvement and NO throbber!Plus you can create your own.(damn i'll never finish this blind)

Reply #20 July 26, 2003 8:38 AM from WinCustomize Forums Top

Koasati,...have been using YZ's Toolbar and was wondering if it acted the same way for you.If you add or remove the links or address bar the flag immediately reappears.It will go away again if you exit and restart the program.
