Re-IE Homepage

Hi, Any help appreciated, 2 items. 1.When I open IE I get yahoo come up to start, however , when I go to another page, then return to home , acer is set as IE homepage , it does not go back to yahoo.I normally use AOL browser but am trying IE, How do I change IE homepage from acer."? 2I have vista premium and every now and then, NTI backup or burn keeps coming up. I have never used it, has anyone used it, I back up and burn using windows. Would I be better off uninstalling NTI, do not know why it just pops up without clicking on it, I normally just click out.

    ^Never a problem;) Was NTI installed as a third-party application by yourself? Would there not be an option in its settings to prevent periodical startup?

    Hi, It,s been on since I bought comp, presumed it was part of the programs installed. I don,t want to remove in case I decide to use it, but, fed up with it popping up unrequested. don,t know how to stop it. It can run days, then up it pops until I click out.I presume it,s not only a trial ware is it, like office? doesn,t say so. Have you used it ok?

    ;)

    What about looking in your Startup folder and deleting the shortcut (not the program).
