I found a way to get the globe in the upper right hand corner of your IE window to be a spinning rotor with two spark plugs the other day. I saw it in the European forum on rx7club.com Just download this file. Go to run and type in regedit. After that go into HKEY current user, then software, Microsoft, internet explorer, and then finally select toolbar. Once you are in there create a new string named smbrandbitmap and set the value for it to where ever you stored the bitmap that is in this thread. After that you should be good to go with your Rotary powered IE!! Well, that's it. I just thought I would share with the other rotorheads out there. I hope you enjoy it. Laterz.

EDIT: Ok, I couldn't upload a bitmap for some odd reason. I'll find another way to get it posted. If nothing else PM me and I'll email the picture to those of you that want it. Sorry for the delay.

u cant upload bitmaps into np...if u have photoshop -- change it to jpeg. and then upload



on ly downside would be if the person that wants to use it - they need ps to change it back into bitmap



i guess paint would work



anyways upload it as jpeg or email me - frestylereaction@yahoo.com

right click where the string is and then type in the file location of where you stored the bitmap image. That will be your value.
