can't change home page

[Guest]

I tried to install IE7beta3, but it wouldn't install. After that, I cannot
change the home page in IE6. It just reverts back to the old one. Tried
uninstalling Windows Defender and ZoneAlarm. Tried resetting security level
in options to medium. Nothing works. Any ideas?

This has been a FAQ on this newsgroup. See this site for possible help and

You may also want to check out StartPage Guard -

StartPage Guard protects your PC from cyberscam, by monitoring status of
your internet browser StartPage and preventing it from any unauthorized
changes.

And to keep from having to manually edit the registry to unlock your
homepage settings, try this little script by Doug Knox, MS MVP:

PS What is the home page that you can't change?

Hi,

I just downloaded the Doug Knox script and would like to reverse the
changes. How do I do this?

Thanks

Just run the script again. It's like an on/off switch.
