i'm just wondering if anyone here is still using ie4? if so, can u do me a favour and extract the spinning globe throbber for me? thx

ps - or if anyone just has the spinning globe throbber just post it here and save everyone a lot of trouble

IE 4 wasnt too user friendly, not too many people use it.

yap i know...that's why i posted it in the win9x section...i figured this would be my best chance, if they haven't upgraded to xp, maybe they also haven't upgraded to the newer ie either

IE 4... och! Evil combination... IE and 4 think about it, Internet Explorer which is **** bricks and then 4.0 old! Man you should get Avant or Firefox!

Spinning globe trobber?

Well.. IE4 is damn good for using for hacking from... maybe that's why you're using it rockman

Ie4 is good for use on a windows NT box, because it has the option to install active desktop, quick launch, and the side panel.

Oh I know a lot of things

guys he just wants the little progress status thing in the top right corner. He doesn't use IE4 thats why he was asking if anyone else did. I dont know how to extract that sort of stuff but if you let me know rock I can see what I can do.

I would just do a search for animated spinning globe GIF I think thats all it is but im not certain let me look into this and ill edit this post

Edit: Found exactly what you are looking for or at least ALOT more information about it and yes it aplies to IE all the way back to IE 4.0

Edit3: This one has ALL the information needed to find the GIF file you need

trust me i've tried searching but haven't been able to find it...i had it before i formatted tho so i'm sure it's out there

Install Tweak UI, it can automatically replace the waving flag with the IE spinning globe throbber for you

(mine is the Spinning globe and it's ver 6.0 )

really? where's the option? i can't seem to find it

IE > Small/large animation
You can also do it through RegEdit... it's just a matter of finding the key.

Go to Internet Explorer options (in TweakUI) and click on "Small animation", from there you can either pick IE (spinning globe), Windows (waving flag) or custom (custom )

and this is in tweakui for windows xp? why don't i have that option?

hmmm... try reinstalling the newest version from Microsoft's website.

Short Answer From Me NO NO NO NO god i hope not......

sorry to dig up an old thread but i still haven't been able to get the old winflag/globe throbber...i found a win98 machine at work tho and i was wondering if anyone knew where the throbber images were stored so perhaps i could extract it from here?

^^ bump...anyone?

To be straightforward: I have no idea

We really ought to get the attachment thing working once and for all.

This will work...

IEThrobber.reg

Wow this is an old topic... Dunno if the mods will like it that you revived it, rh'er . Anyway, if rockman still wants to extract that throbber, I'd pick a weekend in which I have nothing to do, and open all the IE files I can think of to search them for that throbber (using reshack, of course)
PS : there's a chance that the throbber in question is still in the last version. I've used reshack on msn messenger once, and I found that there were masses of old and unused icons in there.

Well, I found a spinning earth, it's an avi, I extracted it, so here it is, I dunno if it is what you wanted : Spinning earth from some dll(I had to make a redirect page because tripod doesn't allow hotlinking of files anymore, except images)

Wow... this is something that you should've started a new thread over... but it seems that you got your question answered... I think this thread is done now.
