Default Re: Changes IE Default

The user interface for this is apparently too confusing for most
users--myself included.

Go to Tools, Advanced tools, Browser Hijack (whoops--can't look at the UI,
'cause it is scanning)--anyway, something beginning with that phrase.

You want to change the first and third items to your desired home page--then
it'll stop bugging you.

There is UI to make these settings presented when you first set up the
program, but clearly many people either ignore it or don't understand it as
it is presented.

Ah finally. This is what I came on to the newsgroup
looking for. It looks like you can change this setting in
System explorer but it doesn't allow you to change it.
Thanx for the tip.

btw I think msantispyware is great and I think the final
version should be made available for free to all MS users
for all time.
