Re: How to change home page?

My server is sending me this notice:

How are you getting that notice ??

The AT&T Internet Service Home page URL has changed.

All you *really* need to do is click on the URL of the new page, then when
IE takes you there, go to the Favorites menu and selct 'add to favorites' and
add the address.

This is a courtesy address for services from ATT... it's good to have it but
a long way from mandatory.

Please update your Internet Browser Home Page or Favorites immediately.

You home page should stay with what ever you have chosen it to be.... Yahoo,
Google, your web site, etc.. There is NO reason for ATT to be your home page.

Because w98se is not supported by AT&T

Of course it is. They may not offer technical support (yet I'm thinking they do)
but there is nothing about IE 6 running on 98SE that seriously differs from IE 6
running on any other OS platform.

IE 6 Runs in Win98SE with as much ease as it does in 2K, NT Server, or XP.

this change can not be made regardless of
my attempts. Is there a way I can block this notice that prevents my home page
from opening? TIA

This sounds like a malware problem... and I wouldn't always consider the silly
installation disks that ISPs insinuate you must use as being a lot more than
that. The first thing you could do, IF you used the ATT installation disc... is to
go to add/remove programs and remove the ATT software. All you need for
a dial up is a phone number and a password, and for DSL, a password. (And
settings information for your mail server). You do not need ATT software installed
for your connection to function properly. Removing the software should not affect
your current e-mail or internet settings.

Do you know how to change your default opening (home) page in IE6 ?
