aol start up page

I downloaded the latest aim 6.0, and now when my computer boots up, the aol
home page does too. My home page is verizon, and when I click the "house"
button on internet explorer, it goes to my home page. How do I stop having
the aol home page start up every time? It didn't happen with the old one.
thank you.

Take your IE browser to the verison page you want as home. Then go to IE,
Tools menu, "Internet Options", General tab, and click the "Use Current"
button.

thank you.

When I go to the internet option it does say that verizon is my home page.
This other thing comes up because I downloaded the latest version of instant
messenger. It didn't have the aol page start up automatically before that.
Thank you, Mark, for replying.

Try running this command, (with quotes)

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -extoff

If that window does not have the AOL homepage, you have probably installed
the AOL so-called 'Nav-Bar", and can disable that in IE, tools menu "Manage
Ad-Ons"

Try in safe Mode and if you have a security software that can block you from
changing the Home page go to the configuration Option and change that to
allow you to change the Home page.
In the S&D click on Tools IE Tweaks Miscellaneous Locks
[ ] Lock IE Start Page Settings in front of the current user. uncheck
this option or Ad-Ware working in Ad-watch can block you from editing the
home page.
Also you could have Spyware that blocking you from changing the Home page so
scan for malwares.
Here is the Registry editing:
Open the RUN command and type regedit32.exe
or regedit.exe and Click OK.

In the registry Editor click on this KEY:
[+] HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main.
Look in the Right Pane/Window for Local Page Right click on it and select
Modify.
In the new window Input the Data C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\blank.htm and click OK.
Then Locate *Start Page* and there put the New Home page you want, Right
Click on it and select Modify and in the Data: http://www.bbc.co.uk for Ex
and click OK.

The same on this KEY:
[+] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main.
Local Page change to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\blank.htm.

Start Page
:http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/reddir.dll?prd={SUB_PRD}&clcid={SUB_CLSID}&pver={S UB_PVER}&ar=home
click OK and Exit the Registry Editor change the home page on the IE
Properties also and Reboot and see if the issue resolved.

Try the Home Page Lock and Unlock from here- line 63 1st column:

For Malware download both these softwa

http://www.safer-networking.org ; for Spybot S&D
Does this user has a third party toolbar installed?.
Note: Some Protection Software will block you from changing your Home page
if they configured to block such an Attempt, so see what Protection software
and go through the configuration to allow you tom change the home page to
what you desire/need.
If an Anti-Virus go to the Firewall and see the settings, also some
Anti-Spyware by default has this feature enabled if installed to default
configuration not customized by the user.
