Reads like a cookie problem. Most pages that let you customize their site
store the information in a cookie. If you are not allowing cookies or are
deleting them later then your customizations will always be lost.

found what is causing it. In the past two days I have repeatedly deleted all
cookies and temp files (with software) and manually. AT&T is changing my
registry home page. I can make a registry change but it’s undone when I open the
IE browser.

It might be a security program blocking Registry changes. A few, but not all, of the programs now doing this are:
Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
Kaspersky
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions.
In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you reinstall Zone Alarm.
Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and try the change.
