See here (from the Lockergnome newsletter): 

My Logo v1.0 [269k] W9x/2k/XP FREE

{Personalize IE's toolbar} This program provides several ways to personalize your Web browsing experience. First of all, you can get rid of that annoying logo at the top right corner of your window and replace it with one of your own. Neat! Then, you can change the text in the title bar. Cool! That's not all, though. You can also have an extra home page which can be accessed via the new logo you created. You can also designate a sound to be played when a page opens, and watch a movie while waiting for a Web page to load. "For optimal system resource utilization and performance, EdenSoft recommends that you use animated cursors for your animations."
