I am trying to change my home page but it is greyed out. How do I chnage
this? I am signed on as an administrator.

Thanks

Hi,
If using Spybot S & D, open it to Tools> IE Tweaks> uncheck "Lock IE Start
Page."

Or, another security/privacy program may have locked the option.

If Spybot didn't lock the StartPage, start with step #6 in this article:
320159 - Home Page Setting Changes Unexpectedly, or You Cannot Change Your
Home Page Setting:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;320159

It's possible that a malware program locked the StartPage.
