IE windows icon, how to remove?

Don't want it there, and I would guess no one else really wants it there either.

How is it possible to remove this:

Ressoure hacking on the binary to remove the icon: http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/

And patching the assembly code of the binary to remove its functionality

ummm, that sounds beyond me. Is there a easy fix?

I can tell you how to change the waving flag icon, but afa completely removing it...you'd probably have to use something like Resource Hacker like klingens suggested. Most folks that want to change it have had it branded by their ISP, and are only interested in restoring the waving flag (or the spinning globe that was present in earlier OS/IE versions.) If you're interested in changing it, the easiest way is to download and install the TweakUI Powertoy from MS here...

After you install it, you can find the program under All Programs | Powertoys for Windows XP | Tweak UI. You can then access the flag settings by expanding Internet Explorer | Small Animation.

Best advice, use Firefox I know that is not a direct answer to your question, but, IMO it is a much better brower.
