Re: Cannot save home page

Hi,
A number of security/anti-spyware programs can lock the homepage. Spybot
S&D, Norton AV 2006, Spyware Blaster- to name a few. Look through settings
of those and similar programs to see if you can find the guilty program.

Hope this helps,

Using XP Home SP2 with updates

I cannot save the home page in IE6/XP: When I go back into options
www.microsoft.com/... is still the homepage. If I try to change it in the
registry I get an error that it cannot be saved. I have checked
permissions
on the Key and they are set to full for administrators, creator user and
the
username.
