The address should be www.cnn.com but reverts to browser.secondpower.com This does not happen in Netscape. Appreciate advise how to get the default home page to 'stick'.	Guest (0)

You may have you set your homepage to them by accident or something downloaded from them has done it. First check to make sure it's not a installed program thats doing it (check the startup folder) then try the following: To resolve this issue in Internet Explorer 4.x, use Registry Editor to Change the 'HomePage' value to '0' in the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Control Panel To work around this issue in Internet Explorer 5, delete the following registry key, and then restart Internet Explorer: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Control Panel\HomePage	Guest (0)

However I opened all the files one by one and found the location. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet_Expl orer\Main and I edited the Search Bar which had http://browser.secondpower.com and the start page which had the full address shown above. When I started Internet Explorer again, it went fine and straight to CNN site. Thanks for the help in pointing to the right place.	Guest (0)
