I have never set this as my homepage, and I need to click the 'homepage'
icon to get it to go to my homepage. This is very annoying. I have had the
computer for a number of years, and it has only recently started doing this.
MSN is trying to take over my computer!

How can I stop this from happening, and make IE6 go to my chosen homepage on
launch?
