If you mean to change the cannot find server page of website
make any webpage and name to 404.shtml this would be error page

similarly make 403.shtml and others

Sorry if am getting u wrong

Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced, unclick "show friendly URL's." This will display the server's output and not that long blown out unhelpful page.

To manage it on the server side, create a custom 404 page (but that won't help for server not found.)

To actually **change** the IE messages, you have to write your own .dll.

Are there any cheap/free dll writers out there or is there a registry change alertantive?

Good dll writers on a free trial basis are OK too!
This should have gone in html and browsers shouldn't've it :o

This isn't the question you're asking, but it may be worth mentioning that (AFAIK) Explorer will ignore custom error pages that are less than 512 bytes.
