| Home page keeps going to MSN.com When I installed Windows Vista I made MSN my home page. I was asked if I wanted to prevent change to my home page and I answered yes because very often certain web sites try to make themselves your home page. Now I want to change my home page to comcast.net but every time I reboot it goes back to MSN as my home page. I went to tools/internet options and changed my home page to Comcast and clicked apply but whenever I start IE8 it reverts back to MSN for my home page. How can I make it keep comcast as my home page? |

Go to that program and remove the check from the appropriate box. Change your home page. Then recheck the box. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience & Security |
