QuestionHow to restore IE [modified] Pin

This is a bit of a long story, so bear with me. I have Comcast for my broadband access and my modem has been on the fritz for a few months. It finally crapped out a couple of days ago. Since it was easier to get a new modem from the Comcast customer service outlet than to haggle with them over the phone about who's problem it was, I did that.

Next chapter - I plugged the modem in and hit it with my IE browser, whereupon it lead me through the installation procedure. During the process it installed a bunch of crapware on my computer which I summarily purged as soon as the installation was over. But one thing I found that I can't get rid of is a Comcast icon they deposited on the right side of the IE menubar. They had also modified the titlebar to claim that it was their branded version of IE, which was easy to find and fix with regedit.

So the only vestige now is the crappy little icon in the menubar. Does anyone have any idea of how they installed this and what I might do to get rid of it?

[edit]
Sorry for the flurry, I just found my answer via Google. Those buttheads had installed a new set of icon paths in the HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Toolbar registry area. All I had to do was to remove them and everything is back to normal.

Why, oh WHY, do these idiots feel like they have to monkey up our computers like this? isn't it enough that they won't even take responsibity for their failing equipment? Time to head over to the Soapbox...
[/edit]

Thanks,
-- Dave
