How do I Stop sites from changing my home page

Can the home page be secured by a setting in the registry?
 
I guess there is a way to edit reg to disable the homepage from beeing changed, but I havn't tried finding out myself.
But if you want you can use either SpywareBlaster or Spybot Search & Destroy (probably many others too) to lock down the homepage settings. both free and very good.

I used that tactic, but forgot the syntax - it's a matter of adding a
"No..." item (something like NoChangeHomePage) to
HKCU...Policies\Explorer or similar. The value is null or 1.

I'd do that as well as, not instead of :-)

Remember, anything that gets registry access (which MS offeres on a
plate to anything and everything, and then adds a few permissions
band-aids plopped on top) can splat the setting.
