Hi, John. A friend of mine said he has google as his home page. I'm thinking
of going back to it because it seems like I did have a faster connection to the
internet with it. Is gmail easy to use? I had yahoo for some of the other
lists I'm on because they were yahoo groups.

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.
