Re: ERROR MESSAGE RE WEB ICON

Oops, typo "Have you checked that none of that type
of addons are removed, NOT to reinstall them." Should be
"Have you checked that anyone of that type
of addons are removed, NOT to reinstall them."

No, I asked if you are using addon toolbars that may interferring. Google toolbar, Yahoo toolbar are examples. Other malware also exists that install "search helpers". Have you checked that none of that type of addons are removed, NOT to reinstall them.

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?

That,s the problem, when i change the default page it does not change in Outlook , it still remains as google, like if i change the default to microsoft.com in defautl page in EI, when i go to the web icon on outlook it comes up with google.com.

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

www.google.com

Sorry, it uses the default home page. What page is Internet Explorer set to open to?

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 ?
