Home Page resets automatically

Hi,
Everytime I log on to Windows, and to IntEx 6.0 my home
page has reverted to some random search engine
(autosearch.cc) After reading article 320159, and
following the steps to troublshoot this problem, I am
still at a loss. The problem is certainly within the
start-up items menu of the System Configuration Utility,
specifically within svchost, but I am unable to access
the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\InternetExpl
orer\controlpanel key

What should I try now?

Thanks
