Hi folks!
I have a hairy question. The privacy report icon in the Internet Explorer status bar(the little eye with a red restriction line) is the one I want to change. It shows up periodically (dependant on security settings with cookies). Does anyone know which reg key and/or which .dll controls the Icon? Or is this part of the IE executable? This is on Win98 running IE 5.5.
Look forward to any answers.

Why? My mother doesn't like it! :)

Ok, found it. For anyone that wants to know, the icon is kept in the shdocvw.dll file. Inevitably the icon needs to be changed using an icon editor and can only be replaced when windows isn't running(eg. I did mine in DOS mode).
