Webmaster Forum / Browsers / Internet Explorer / September 2006Home Page problem
At the moment my home page in IE6 is http://www.google.co.uk/ig?hl=en but I want to change it to something else, I open IE6 then click on Tools > Internet Options, I then type a Home Page Address that I want as my home page I then click on accept and then OK. Shut down IE6 and then re open and guess what, it is back on http://www.google.co.uk/ig?hl=en. No matter what I try it reverts to that web page, I have never had this problem before. Does anyone know how to get around this problem. Cheers. Colin. Probably a silly question but did you click on "use as default" before clicking OK.

I've been using a news site here in Aus for many months (http://abc.net.au/news ) without problem but now want to change the Home Page to another news site. No matter what I do to reset the Home Page in IE6 (Tools>Internet Options etc), including "default" I cannot get it to hold after closing the dialogue box. I don't know how long it's been stuck because I haven't tried to change it for so long. Also, I don't have the problem on another box running Win98SE. I run up-to-date ZoneAlarm, Avast, Spybot and AdAware and have also run the CWShredder all with nil results. HiJackThis doesn't show any entries which seem strange either. It doesn't seem to be a nastie. Am I missing something?? Any clues much appreciated please! (reply to Group or direct by removing STOP). tia Mike ---------------------------------------- Hi Colin and Mike I did what you both said you had tried and I too found the page opened with the original Home page still in place. So I chose yet another page (the fourth) and closed the site BUT this time I opened from the IE "Icon" instead of my usual ISP Icon and it worked. I have now done this three times and the new page comes up each time, so try opening from the IE icon to see if it works for you. Fingers crossed.

Re my earlier query - this problem is being covered in the "microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser" group, and in my case it appears to be the latest version of ZoneAlarm. (I uninstalled 65.722.000 and reinstalled 61.744.001, and the problem has gone). Mike If you are using Zonealarm- upgrade to .733 version and it will resove the issue Wayne > At the moment my home page in IE6 is http://www.google.co.uk/ig?hl=en but > I want to change it to something else, I open IE6 then click on Tools > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Colin. |
