Re: ERROR MESSAGE RE WEB ICON

You are hitting Apply? And the browser opens the new site as Home? All I can figure is you have some add-on interfering. Maybe active tool-bars or the like. You don't happen to be running two browsers and have another one set to be default and pointed at google?

Then it is working exactly as it should. If you don't want google, CHANGE the default home page.

www.google.com

Hi Elizabeth

FWIW...It is not really a feature of XP. It is a feature of Internet
Explorer.

Whenever I click on the "Search the Web" icon on the Outlook tool bar, I get this error message: "You do not have a World Wide Web search page registered on your computer." I do have Google registered as my home page in Internet Properties. I cannot find any way to rectify what the error message complains of. What should I do so that when I click on this icon, I can go to www.google.com ?
