Throbbers

[buf]

Hope this fits here
I once knew how to change the throbber( the flying window in XP or the spinning globe in Win98). In fact, I changed to the spinning globe on this XP computer but the I still have the flying window on the other XP machine and would prefer the globe because I can tell more easily when it is active.
Any help from anyone will be appreciated. And as usual, TIA.

Thanks for your link Nix but I visited there before I started my thread. That is far more involved than what I thought I had to do when I changed the throbber a long time ago. If I have to go that route, I'll forget that I wanted to do this I very vaguely recall using Tweak UI before but the download for XP for Tweak is different than Win98, I think.
EDIT: I further think someone from our board helped me before and I thought I saved that info but I haven't been able to find it on my PC. Nor; have I found it using our search engine in all the forums.

See the last section.
I think this covers the same ground.

Also when you use IE7 you get no throbber anymore in the top right. Rather each tab has an animated circle (ring) when a page loads and the status bar shows whether there is any download activity.

False Alarm and I am at myself for being so forgetful.
I finally took the time to go look at the other computer and it has the spinning globe also!! I just don't recall changing it. Sorry to have bothered you good people but I do genuinely appreciate your time in trying to help me.
I wonder if a memory stick is available for the human mind

You'll be wanting the non-volatile type.

This is it http://www.scotsnewsletter.com/best_of/ispbrnds.htm
Jim. I even looked at my list of Smart Computing daily tips but didn't see it. I now recall, that it was Scott's Newsletter that had the tip. I have already posted my findings about the other computer. Many thanks Jim for your furnishing me the link to the answer. I will now save that link.
Hope you folks out there miss the bad weather that is predicted for your area as shown on CNN.

Liam, link please Since I am a peaceful man, I would have to use the non-violent stick, if available/affordable. If it is a costly item, then I would consider trading one of my 2 rigs for a stick. (Maybe I would only need a half-a-stick with just one computer )

Volatile means that it loses all stored data/info when power is lost, in this case you'd forget everything when you went to sleep.

buf--You are most welcome. Glad to hear all is well now.
We got at least 10 inches of snow where I live. What a mess. At least I stocked up on the gin and whiskey before this all happened.
