Re: IE reverts to www.msn.com as home page after boot

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The my.yahoo.com home page button works until the next boot. I have done very little on this PC other than assemble it, put on XP, performed the windows update (including SP2), copied over some old files from the PC I want to replace, and downloaded some newer version of favorite utilities from the internet.

From googling, I have seen a lot of similar problems related to using blank for a home page, but none for Yahoo or a similar page. I copied over the old favorites directory from the Windows/ME system I am trying to replace -- I wonder if there is something there Windows/XP doesn't like...seems unlikely, but I am grasping for straws.

This is my third XP system, I have a 2 year old laptop and a 1 year old desktop.

Hi,

I just installed XP on a newly built computer. Whenever I change my home
page to my.yahoo.com, all is well until the next boot -- it reverts back
to www.msn.com.

I have scanned with SpyBot, it found nothing but a couple of tracking
cookies.

Any ideas appreciated.
