Default search engine

[Shu]

After I installed IE 6.0 my default search engine changed
to "My Something or other." I e-mailed them and was able
to remove 2 cookies and get them out of there. Now my
default is MSN search. I want Yahoo but when I follow
the instructions: Search/Change preferences/Change
internet behavior/OK .... nothing changes.
I just want my old Yahoo search engine back and I hate it
when a download changes settings on my computer without
me asking for it!
Any suggestions?
