IE Home Page

[Arpan]

I am working on Windows XP Professional & use IE 6.0 as my default browser. I always set the home page in IE to "about:blank" (blank page) but I find that the home page automatically changes to www.iwantsearch.com. I even tried changing the home page in the Registry by navigating to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main &
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1801674531-1220945662-839522115-1003\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

& then manually changing the value of the String named "Start Pafe" to about:blank but strangely it reverts back to www.iwantsearch.com after some time. How do I avoid this? It's too irritating.........

Thanks,

Arpan
