The thing you want to chang is called the throbber believe it or not. You can search the forums or google for more info.

tweakUI or gpedit will let you change this

tweakUI:

Internet Explorer > Small Animation

Internet Explorer > Large Animation

gpedit.msc:

User Configuration > Windows Settings > Internet Explorer Maintanance > Browser User Interface

Personally I kill the sucker:

you can reshack shell32.dll i think. You will find a large bitmap with the animated flag and change it! lot of work though..

[redder]

thanks for the replies, im gonna try it now, i just hope not to blow up my one day old windows install

[redder]

Which Windows98 file has the animated flag? Shell32.dll doesn't have it!

[redder]

SUCCESS!!! IT'S ALIVE!! I found windows 98 throbber in this file "browserui.dll" inside "C:\Windows\System\" extracted the three throbbers in there and replaced them over the five throbbers that had the same width it worked really well, thank you radhus and DigeratiPrime
