Internet explorer 6 won't let me default the current web page.

[Guest]

When I go to a web page via internet explorer and try using "tools >internet
options >use current and click the apply button then ok", it will not save
this site as my home page.
It keeps reverting back to "about:blank"

Any ideas would be appreciated.
