My home page selection for example, www.yahoo.com keeps
getting reset to http://homepage.co%
6D%00@%77%77%77%2e%65%2d%66%69%6e%64%65%72%2e%63%63/%68%
70/

I keep setting it to www.yahoo.com, but when I open
another IE window it is reset to the above address.
Anyone know how to fix this?

IE 6.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.
