Hi Stilty :)

Try the following and see if it helps:

First: Log on as Administrator
Go to Control Panel>Add/Remove programs
Scroll down and see if there is anything in the list that you personally did
not install or know was installed. Especially, anything that looks like a
3rd party program. If you find anything of that sort, uninstall it. Close
out of Control Panel and reboot. Open IE and try your settings again and see
if they hold.

also try....

Open IE>UNlock Toolbars, close
Re-open IE>Customize to your preferences
Hold Cntrl Key down and close IE
Re-open IE. If settings held then lock Toolbars
Log out>Log in again as Administrator, open IE and see if the stetting sitll
stayed in place.

and...

If not, then you need to do the following to remove possible spyware/malware
that is then likely causing the problem:
