I can't remove shortcuts from history folder

When I goto "search for" in my history bar on the
leftside of the Internet Explorer, I find 20 Internet
shortcuts to Mp3Dimension.com. When I try to delete one,
it doesn't delete. When I try to move one, it makes a
copy and the original doesn't move. Another problem
related to it is my default homepage keeps changing to
some website I don't want. I goto regedit, put the
homepage that I want in, and it works temporarily, but
eventually it restores to the website url I don't want.

How do I fix these problems?

I solved the Homepage problem but...

When I goto Internet Explorer and select History, I enter
any letter in the History search on the companion on the
leftside of the screen and I find twenty internet
shortcuts from Mp3dimension.com. I try to delete them but
they can't I try to move one, but it just copies and the
original remains. I search my computer for all shortcuts
and htmls but I can't find them. I've cleared my history
folder at the Internet options countless times, it
doesn't effective them. I downloaded spybot to search for
spyware but the problem still remains.

I WANT TO GET RID OF THEM, WHAT DO I DO?
