Hello
Every time I reboot my machine and go to IE, the home page
changes; even though Ive set it back to what I want to be.
I have run spyware apps, trojan apps, AV apps etc etc, but
nothing prevents it from changing.
Im assuming there must be a registry hack to prevent my
Home page from changing, but I don't know where it is.
(Win 2K Pro).
Any suggestions?

Thank You
Terry
