Hi Rosemarie, you can change your homepage easily. In internet options, which
you can either go to in control panel or in the tools menu in internet explorer
the home page address is the top item in the general menu. Just type in the
address of the page you want as your home page, in the case of google
http://www.google.com and tab down to the ok button, alternatively go to the
google page and then press the use current button, which is the second thing on
the internet options general menu. You won't be troubled by any pages you've
had as your home page in the past. The only one that internet explorer will use
is the one you've selected.
Let me know how you get on,
John.

Hi, John. I still got a slow connection after unchecking the search button.
Is there something else I can try? I used to have google as my home page at
one time. Is there a way to get ride of your past home page if you don't want
it anymore? Just wondering.

Hi Rosemarie, don't worry about yahoo. The toolbar you need to change is in
internet explorer. When you're in Internet Explorer just press the alt key to
take you to the menus, and cursor right to the view menu. the toolbar submenu
is the top item in the view menu. cursor down till you find the explorer bar
submenu and right cursor to open it. The top item is search. If that says
checked press the enter key to uncheck it. When you've done that it'll be fine.
Let me know how you get on,
John.

Hi, John. I have a problem with yahoo which is my home page. How do I
find the tool bar to uncheck the search so I can have a faster connection to
the internet? I have DSL so i should be able to connect to the internet pretty
fast.

Hi everybody, re the post earlier today regarding the seeming hijack of
the internet explorer home page it isn't a hijacker, it's just a changed
toolbar setting. it's easily solved. I had the same thing happen to me. All you
have to do is to go to the toolbars submenu and uncheck search on the explorer
bar menu. When you've done that everything should be fine.
John.
