Internet Explorer 7 final

[Jerry]

Did NOT see place to ask this so will try here.
Today I downloaded and installed IE7 final. Install seemed to have gone
fine although it does take two reboots to get it fully installed.. It looks
much like IE 7 beta 2 did except I ran into one issue someone maybe about
to solve.

When IE is opened now, it goes to the link:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=74005

I have yahoo.com set as homepage in the IE options and it was set that way
before installing IE7 final. I can click on the home button and IE goes to
yahoo. Question why does it open to that link and how the heck can I get it
to open on the homepage of my choice?

Thank you

Here's what happens. When IE7 starts, it tries to load this page:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=74005. You just have to let it do
it's own thing - it may take a long time and several re-starts of IE.
Eventually it will load this page:

Then click the "Save Settings" link, and you're done.
