IE default home page

[Greener]

My wife wishes to reset her "default" home page in
Internet Explorer. What is the easiest way to do this?
She has used the "use current" to reset her starting web
page, when she first opens up IE, but she wants to go one
step farther and reset the default home page, which keeps
overriding her "use current" choice. Thanks for any
help! Greener

The default home page can be reset by opening Internet
Explorer, clicking on the 'Tools' tab at the top, then
clicking 'Internet Options'. Under the 'General' tab you
will see the first section labeled 'Home Page' There
should be a cutton you can click that says 'Use Default'.
Click this button to reset the home page to the default of
Internet Explorer. If you cannot find this then here is
the page displayed on my default home
page... 'http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?
prd,ie&pver,5.5&ar,msnhome'

Yes, Henri, she is being directed to a page she does not
want. And that page has taken over the "default" page on
her IE browser. How do we remove that unwanted address
from her "default" setting? Can we change it back to a
default page of her choice?
