How can I get rid of the these 2 sites:
(go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=74005 and then it goes to
runonce.msn.com\runonce.aspx) that open when I go on the internet?
I have to hit the homepage icon everytime I execute IE7. then
all my homepages open.

Thanks. That seemed to take care of it. However is there any way I can
open all my homepage tabs at the same time when I start IE7? I notice
all the home pages are grayed out now in the IE7 tools, internet
options, general dialog window.

This happens if the Home Page setting is locked down by a Policy:

Look for the "HomePage" in these keys, and delete the value if found.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Control Panel

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Int ernet Explorer\Control Panel

Ramesh,
That removed the "grayed out" which is great however how do I
now get all homepages to load at the same time? I now get my first
homepage loaded on the list but have to click on the homepage icon in
order to get all of my homepages to load at the same time. By the way
I really appreciate your help!

Yes, I did that. The problem is when IE7 opens, it opens with just one
home page (foxnews) and I have to click on the homepage icon to open
all my homepage tabs. I would like to set it up so when I open IE7 all
my homepage tabs open by default. How do I accomplish this?

Ramesh,
I got it! I stumbled my way through the settings in the tools
dialog window and got all the homepages to open at once.
Thank you for all your help.

Mine was alread unchecked. I did read the comment on the general tab
that said you could put in more than one home page. I have been past
the entry so many times. Never read the explanation, I just thought like
other browsers it was a single web page address.

Cute. I can bring up both mine and my wifes at the same time.
