After loading Windows XP home Verson, constant problem
with home page setting changing and constantly gettting
booksmarks I did not set......bookmarks will not
permanently delete or erase........upon rebooting
unwanted bookmarks return

This is a spyware / parasite problem.

See: Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:

I would download and run, in this order:

CWShredder http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Then download, install, *update* and run both of these programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/ (Remove items listed in red-others are
optional.)
Both programs should be updated after installation- before use.

First eliminate any scumware.
See

http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.
CWShredder is also available here:

Alternative download pages for Ad-Aware, Spybot, HijackThis and CWShredder
may be found on this page:

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.
