My Copy of Internet Explorer now reminds me of the the Global Country of World Peace every time I use it.

The title bar looks like this. Every page will say "something or other" - for the Global Country of World Peace.
Next, the toolbar now looks like this. It has the cosmic background.
Last, at the right hand side, the spinning logo (known to some as a throbber) which indicates that Internet Explorer is downloading something from the web, now looks like this. The map of the world and the flag of the Global Country of World Peace
  • You too can customise your copy of Internet Explorer to work the same way. (Apologies to Mac users - this is for MS Windows only)
  • How? Click here to download a collection of files which you install on your PC. When you download the collection and install them on your PC you must use the default folder (directory) it suggests i.e. c:\gcwp. When you have downloaded and extracted the files use Windows Explorer to go to C:\gcwp and then double click on readme.htm to get full instructions. While you are online you should also download Internet Explorer Personaliser 3.0 from the Access Software site as this is needed too. It is free of charge.
  • The download will not change any of your explorer settings until you choose to run them. Later on you can undo them if you wish.

Mac users

I don't know how you can change the title bar or the toolbar background but you can change the "throbber", the spinning logo at the top right hand side of the browser window. You can download and save the spinning logo up above and then use one or other Mac utilities (all free) to install it. Some web sites which should be of help are: pKellerher.com, resExcellence.com, macDeusEx (at the bottom of the page). You could also use your favourite search engine and look for throbber and mac.

If a Mac user is able to find out how to package all this up, and perhaps even do the title and toolbar, and would like to send it to me I shall put it on this site.
