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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rosemarie Chavarria To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, October 28, 2006 7:57 PM Subject: Re: home page hijacker 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.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rosemarie Chavarria To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, October 28, 2006 7:20 PM Subject: Re: home page hijacker 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.

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.
