homepage resets constantly and won't stay on the one I set it to.

[Chad]

my ie 6.0 constantly resets the homepage to this
res://mshp.dll/index.html#12802
I have followed the help file and reset the homepage and
have deleted this from everything I could find it in.
The homepage will stay reset for about 10 or 20 minutes
and them goes back to the above one. It sucks. How can
I get it to stay on Yahoo for a homepage? I have even
tried clicking on that make yahoo your homepage thing and
it still only stays for a few minutes as my homepage.
Any suggestions? Please respond to email as I don't get
to this site much. Thanks.
