Guest mrs1945 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 I read each reply given on how to rid my pc from this problem. I ran regedit.exe, then HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main..... at this point I have two files: Default Feeds - containing: {2D90FCA5-46D8-48B4-AE7C-ODD5A9ECAB8A}, {6ACA2234-7009-4EOB-AB59-8CB98D3CD7AD}, {DDB93AAD-OCFB-4ACB-83FD-EDFA5B6F6DC4} FeatureControl - containing: FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN. In this folder is a subfolder entitled "Settings." I have looked thoroughly through each of these folders and I do not see the "Window Title - MonaRonaDona." What should I do now? Thanks in advance, Mary
