How do I change my Home page?

Malware applications, misbehaving web pages, and guest users will sometimes change your web browsers home page.

Changing your home page back to a reasonable option can save you time and annoyance every time you open your web browser.

Change your Home Page in Internet Explorer

To change your home page within Internet Explorer:

Open Internet Explorer
Open the Tools menu
Select "Internet Options"
The "General" settings tab contains three sections. The first section, titled "Home page" is the one you are looking for.
You now have four options to change your home page:
- Type a URL into the block labeled "Address".
- Click <Use Current> to set your home page to the web page which you are currently viewing.
- Click <Use Default> to set your home page to the default home page set when Internet Explorer was installed.
- Click <Use Blank> to cause Internet Explorer to always start with a blank page by default. This is a good option when you have extremely limited bandwidth.
Click the <OK> button.
