Navigate to the page you want to be your home page, then click on Tools, Internet Options, and at the top under Home Page click on 'Use Current'.  Click OK, shut down the browser and restart it.   Dave

Thanks Dave for your reply, unfortunately this does not work, as i said regardless of the system you use to change the page it always overwrites the new entry and defaults back to dell my way, i have deleted the keys from the registry without effect and also modified the registry key but the PC always rewrites the keys back to dell myway.There must be a piece of software which is performing this. Once again Thanks UK_Trucker

Hi Denny   I printed and followed all instructions and no joy. I deleted the reg entrys with the windows installer Cleanup utility. It found several and i followed through until it finished. I rebooted and re ran and all the keys had been regenerated just as they were before even though myway uninstalled via the control panel. I checked and removed the empty folder  from program files folder. I have downloaded a trial program called spyware doctor it has quarntined 6 items called Trojan.startpage.gen and this must be what is regenerating the keys. Although quarantined they are still producing the keys. I have run antivirus and still no remova. I have searched for this bug but can not find it. I do appreciate all your help UK_Truckerl

It's driving me mad as well. Finally I gave up and did this: Created a shortcut to 'explorer.exe url name'  e.g explorer.exe http//www.bbc.co.uk' Also modified the shortcut in the quick start toolbar. BUT come on DELL you created this problem - Sort it!

Hi Pete thanks for the advise it works well, it drove me nuts and to date i can find no solution. Your right it's got to be Dell there is no other answer. I have tried 23 different programs and still have not found one with a permanent answer. Thanks again.   UK_Trucker

I have not solved the problem as a whole but have installed Mozilla Firefox 1.5 and am now using it as my web browser. You can set your home page to what you like, and it is faster than ie 6 although it does not contain all the features of ie 6. Best regards UK_Trucker

Good idea, I have not totally given up and will let you know if I find a solution Cheers, Pete J

Well finally i have found a fix for this problem. Go to microsoft .com and download the latest version of microsoft spyware beta, you will have to validate your windows copy for it to generate a code so you can download the spyware program - very easy to do, just follow instructions. Once you have downloaded install it and then run it. It will update it's self and then will tell you that your web browser has been hijacked. Use the options it gives you to change to the web site you want. Open explorer and it will then tell you that myway is again trying to hijack your browser - press the BLOCK button and presto problem solved. While your at microsoft you can also pick up the beta version of internet explorer 7 i have been running it now for two weeks with no problems. UK_Trucker
