default page on entering browser

[Mel]

I use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 with Operating
System XP.

I do not know how the address below became my default
page for my browser. I change it back to my yahoo page.
It will enter yahoo once. Then it changes the default
back to the address below.

res://mshp.dll/index.html#10213

Please let me know how to make this STOP!

Thanks
Mel

I am having the same problem and have tried clearing
registers, and cold booting. Maybe this will work for you
if it does let me know. The steps are posted at
