Why don't you tell us what the "something funny" is? Why don't you tell us what web browser you're using? Did you bother looking in that unnamed browser's setup menu for that option? Really, throw us a crumb. If your browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer, look in Tools | Internet Options | General. Home pages don't just change themselves. You might have been infected with a virus or other malware that has hijacked your home page and possibly done other damage. |

Alan Possibly you mean your browser start page? Go to Control Panel, Internet Options and set what you want for your home page at the top of the general tab. -- dadiOH ____________________________ Winters getting colder? Tired of the rat race?

The only problem I have is that I shall forget it if it goes wrong again, if I were to keep a copy of this it might help, except that I will have to try to remember that I have got the copy somewhere!(:-) So thanks.

Like I said, browser settings don't change on their own for no reason. You may be infected with a virus or other malware, and you should do a thorough scan of your computer. Even if you don't spefically remember how to change something in a program, your first stop should always be to look at the Setup options on the menu. Chances are that what you're looking for is right there. |
