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.
