where is located settings(keys) for default homepage in win xp
registry? IE6.0, can no set default homepage to chosen URL, each time
open IE there are stay the webpage, and not possible change it. Not a
malware function. If this is third-party application, it use some
registry key for this default url.
 
Mine is located here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
The value is "Start Page"
You could also have a setting in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, though I have
never seen one.

It may not be a malware function but it can be a function of
anti-spyware applications, like Spybot. Are you using any?

There are used some remote admin program, possibly it can be a function
of this application. But even this is a case, this application must use
some registry key to perform this. I want find where this URL setting
are stored.

Thanks.
 
Sorry, but I do not understand what you are saying.
What is used by a remote admin program and what has that do do with
you question?

I have given you the normal location in the Registry and other
information.

What is it that you now want?

I will search for URL in all of mentioned locations. I meant that
remote control program, possibly have function to set fixed homepage. I
just want find where is this possible registry key location. Since we
can set any homepage URL normally (via IE Tools, General tab), but IE
not save this settings - it always open IE with this predefind page,
regardless from page we set.

Regards.
 
Again, I do not understand what you are saying and why you make it so
difficult for me to read your response.
I am afraid I will have to pass.
