oh give me a home, where the pop-up site roam...

[jb_farley]

how do i stop my home from being constantly reset every time the computer is restarted? it’s set for default (msn.com), i click apply, i click on home, and i’m on msn.com

computer reboots. turn on ie, and msn is no longer home. i used to have this problem when i had installed a free isp, and my home kept getting redirected to xoom.com. but i don’t remember how i got rid of it.

any help?

thanks,

jb

You don’t say what version you’re using.

For IE5.5 and Windows ME, you can change your home page in 2 different places.

First, is under Tools up at the top here, Internet Options, General, Home Page.

Then there’s this:

To reset Internet Explorer Web settings

If you installed another Web browser after installing Internet Explorer and Internet Tools, some of your Internet Explorer settings may have changed. You can reset your Internet Explorer settings to their original defaults, including your home page and search pages, and choice of default browser, without changing your other browser’s settings.

On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Programs tab.
Click the Reset Web Settings button.

Bolding mine. Does this help?

Is there some sort of cookie or executable that you’ve gotten from Xoom? I’d look for those and delete them. But this is a WAG.
