Having installed Windows Live Messenger,
http://runonce.msn.com/runonce2.aspx keeps appearing as my IE7 start page,
however that page doesn't exist & produces an error every time I start IE,
i.e. the "run once flag" isn't being reset. I can navigate from the browser
with no problems, I just can't get my home page to come up as the start
page.

How can I fix this?
