home page

[Mike]

Hi-

Anyone know how to change a home page on Explorer? I
tried the internet options tab and changed it that way
via hitting the apply button after entering in a new
address but whenever the PC reboots and Explorer is
started again, the old home page gets listed again.

Thanks

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.
