I am trying to change the home page in internet
properties, usually this is simple but the section is
greyed out and will not accept changes. I am logged in
as Admin but it responds that I need to contact the
system admin to make these changes. It is a Dell
notebook running XP Home. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Keith

Dear Doug:

Brilliant!!! Less filling and works great. I looked for
the info to do this 1st in my WinXP Inside Out and then
on the MS website without luck. I knew someone would
know how this was done, I just didn't expect a response
so quickly. Thanks again.

You're most welcome [on behalf of Doug Knox]

Ramesh:

Thank you as well. It wasn't until after I hit send that
I realized you weren't Doug. He's got a great site.
Very kind of you to take the time to share.

Ramesh:

Thanks for the tips. I have used http://www.langa.com/
for some time but yours are without cost (Langa charges
for the "advanced" access) -- even better.
