Hi

Seeing as you have all been so helpful in the past, I wonder if youcan help me with a teeny tiny irritation - not really a problem.

When I open IE, it doesn't go to my home page but to another web site that is actually a blank screen. Anyway I can ask IE to go directly to my home page?

Thanks

    Change default homepage to something like https://www.google.co.uk :) hehe

    IE, Tools, Internet Options and type in the required URL into the Address field followed by Apply then OK.

    Note that even after doing that, some software will hijack your start page. That is one of the many reasons why I use Maxthon instead of IE (albeit MAxthon still uses the IE engine), I can lock the homepage.
