I get a similar thing, but instead of msn, it's a yahoo search page that
pops up. Would that control-e command work with this?
Thanks.

Control E invokes the MSN search when you have Internet Explorer
open. It's befuddling when you don't know you turned it on. I did it
once accidentally when I meant to hit Windows c. My guess is that it's a
little Microsoft treat to get you onto the MSN pages.

Not weird or strange at all. Just hit control+e, which is a toggle, and the page will be gone.

Hi again, Gee, I seem to be runnintg nto these interesting internet questions these days, and this is even after clearing out cookies, Internet history, and Internet files. Hmmm.
Does anyone have a solution for the following? Basically, when I try and load a page, I guess it's MSN that seems to load up along with the regular page, and I always get a screen that tells me I can search for people, computers, or different things like that. It's basically the MSN web search page. I do an Insert A to see about the web page address, and it tells me I'm at the page I originally wanted to be. Now, what's interesting is that if I do a Control Tab, I'm at my intended page.
Spyware? I don't seem to have any. Weird, eh? Jim-- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line. Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfw
