     Recently my browser got hijacked by a website (blaze search or something like that) and reset my homepage. When I tried to change my home page back, I discovered that under Internet Options, the field to reset my home page back to what I want was greyed out, as well as all three buttons (i.e. Use Current, Use Default, Use Blank). After digging around in the options, I was able to get the browser to reset to the default MSN page, but I still can't manually change my home page to what I want. I've tried to redownload and reinstall IE6, but it's still stuck. Is there a file I can manually hack somewhere to get my field and buttons back, or do I have to reinstall all of Windows to get things back to normal?
