Connie,

What do you mean by "on my side of the computer"?

What web browser are you using (e.g., Internet Explorer 6.0, Mozilla
FireFox 1.5, etc.)?

Can you make changes to any other other browser settings?

Re: default home page cannot be changed

Are you meaning profiles rather than the other side?

Either way and in the meantime - download then merge line 63: Home Page

If needed run HijackThis: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_s.htm#spy

Good luck and keep us posted.

Re: default home page cannot be changed

You cannot change the home page or you can but it doesn't "stick" when you
open a new IE window or reboot?

Re: default home page cannot be changed

when the computer starts up, there are icons for each of us - identifies our
preferences and email...

Re: default home page cannot be changed

What's right?

Pick one:

A. I cannot select a new IE home page.

B. I can select a new IE home page but when I reboot, the home page has been
reset back to what it had been.
