Hi Chuck,
Will you pay mine too while you are there please?
Thanks for the info. Now I know why I didn't find anything.... I always
keep my home page as blank. Nothing irritates me more than to type in a URL
while the home page is loading only to have it zap my typing when the home
page loads, so I've had it set as blank for years. =(

Hi Pam,
If you?ve located the IE entry, go down the several folders on the
left, any that look like they could contain URL, or home page data, then you
can delete anything that is a www that you don?t recognize. I found in mine
all the URLs that I visited, very much like my history entries.
I?ve found with customers that have gotten (accidentally) into porno
sites that unless you delete the xxx registry entries, (some of these take
over the homepage) that there is at least one entry that calls up a www site
and starts a porno spawning process all over again.
Vague, I know, but the rest you kind of have to feel your way through.
As long as you operate on the right pane you?ll do little damage, deleting
whole folders on the right is probably a no-no, When you close the registry
editor, it?s the same as a ?Save and Exit.
Got to go, something about a ?Pay the rent day?..

Oh, FINE, I make this great suggestion and you throw it back at me
Ok, first START, RUN, type in ? regedit ? When the registry editor comes
up click on EDIT, go to find and enter ? internet explorer ? and of course
ENTER.
You should be looking at something that looks very much like an explorer
screen, and your first ?find? should be highlighted. Right click to either
DELETE or MODIFY an entry in the right panel, also look in the left panel to
see which folder is open. You can look at the contents of other folders
without messing with your original search; just hit the F3 key to find the
next occurrence of IE.

Hi Pam Chuck again;
You could do a registry search (Regedit or Regedt32, depending on win9x
or XP/2k) for ?internet explorer? and check out the URL entries
