If you're using Windows XP Pro, you can use the management console with the Group Policy snap-in.<br><br>If you're using any other version of Windows, you have to do it via registry, or download the Internet Explorer Administration Kit and create an installer package with customized logos & title bar.<br><br>Also, Spybot - Search & Destroy v1.3 has a feature where you can change the title bar display without rebooting.

It's a bit in-depth, until I get a tutorial up on my website, just email me privately if you're interested.

Personally, with a name like Mozilla Firefox, I think it would be hilarious to replace the default icon with a yiffy one, but that's just me.<br><br>Plus my parents would kill me.

Netscape lives on as Mozilla, which probably undergoes updates too fast.<br><br>Using Netscape 7 and Firefox 0.9, I've noticed a marked difference in the speeds on a Pent III. Firefox does leave at least the bulky Netscape/Mozilla Suite in the dust. IE does work a lot better than it once did (the IE program is fairly closely related to Netscape 1-4.8), but it is also one that seems to have a lot of security patches. I've noticed them coming out at least monthly if not more frequently.

I just downloaded Mozilla FireFox about 15 minutes ago, I've been browsing around the usual places I go with it... works good so far...

I now use Mozilla Firefox and although I still have to get used to the tab idea, I quite like it.<br><br>PROs: Looks cool, isn;t microsoft, clean, simple, Tab idea is cool<br>CONs: Doesn't handle pictures as well as IE, Google Toolbar is screwed on it.
