128062	2003-03-14 09:59:00	For years I have been in the habit of using my ISP's web page as my home page on Netscape. A week or so ago the ISP changed the home page so that now the URL finishes up .........*.co.nz/index.php Since then whenever I click on a bookmark, I am returned briefly to the homepage before the site I want comes up. Is this some form of snooping? Sounds a bit like index.dat to me.	wjohn (2330)

128064	2003-03-14 10:12:00	the php means they are now using the common php language to code their site instead of whatever it was before (html, asp, cfm...). Try going into Tools; Internet Options and see what your current homepage is. If it is *.co.nz it will not need any changes, if it is *.co.nz/index.htm then change the file extension to read .php. If this isn't the cause, or if it still continues, then perhaps run Adaware or clean out your Internet Temp files.	Heather P (163)

For a free product there is not too much to complain about. On top of that, for a newbie or the generally inexperienced, it is less likely to scare them witless because it sticks to the real problems and doesn't overwhelm them with irrelevant reports. IMHO of course. :8} Cheers Billy 8-{) :|	Billy T (70)
