    THIS IS FOR INTERNET EXPLORER
    Open the website you want to have as your homepage. Click TOOLS > OPTIONS, and then click 'USE CURRENT' button in the 'Home Page' section!

    You can do the same as the above with any number of tabs open if you want to open a number of websites when you start your browser.

    Also its worth considering an alternative browser to IE for security. 99% of the nasties out there target IE, so Firefox or Chrome would be a far better, faster and more safe choice for surfing the web. I perfer Chrome (pure speed), but Firefox has more features.

    bit naive when it comes to computers apart from browsing.
    So do i just literally down load Firefox, does this give me an icon on my desktop, If so do i need to do anything with IE

    Yes, just download it.

    It's appears as an icon on your desktop.

    You don't need to do anything with IE.
