Can't delete unwanted home page

[Symo]

One of the users of my PC (Windows XP) entered a new home
page, searchdot.net, for the IE (version 6.0) browser.
Now I can't choose another home page which will remain.
At every computer reset, the searchdot.net home page comes
back. I've tried deleting all the internet files and
cookies for each of the users, no luck. Any similar
experiences and/or ideas?

Symo,
A google search turned up this discussion:
http://www.computing.net/security/wwwboard/forum/6838.html

I would create a system restore point before going after this hijacker.
There's some registry editing involved.
Hope this helps,

Don
