WOW!!! This has been bugging me for months! Almost as frustrating as trying
to find these forums for help - cause you know there aint no support from MS!

I simply did a REMOVE PROGRAM on my yahoo toolbar and NOW when I open any
subsequent IE7 browser windows, it simply defaults to my homepage as it
should and stays right there as it should! No more reverting back to the
original browser window I had opened! THANK YOU Jan - you;re a genius!!!
