| 677634 | 2008-06-11 23:24:00 | Every time I start my computer the opening page is one put on my computer by Microsoft www.microsoft.com) is the address which shows in the address box. I have tried replacing it with my own choice of homepage but am unable to dislodge it. All of my Windows XP Pro updates have been installed and are current. Can anyone suggest how I can get rid of this nuisance so that my homepage shows on startup instead of the MS one ? Thanks. peterver |

| 677637 | 2008-06-12 11:46:00 | I thought so, Spybot SD has a setting which prohibits the IE Home Page from being changed. You might need to untick that box first: Tools -> IE tweaks -> Lock IE start page against user changes This is in advanced mode (Mode -> Advanced Mode) |
