21964 2001-10-19 05:45:00 Hi All...

I have a computer that seems to have got something wrong with it. When I load Internet Explorer it always locks on to the same site as the startup page. I have tried going into Internet Options and changing the start page but all the option buttons are greyed out and I can't do anything.

How do I fix this short of reformatting the hard-drive and reinstalling everything.

Thanks

I now have more info on this sorry story. It seems to have been done my some kind of Java Script from a website and it was not from an ISP CD-ROM. I have tried looking in the registry for the registry key but without any luck.

However, if you don't want to play around with your Registry - the following tiny application from Internet 'guru' Fred Langa will do the job for you:
