I have a relatively new notebook computer. Somewhere
along the line something has happened so that each time
that I boot up my computer the home page on my internet
explorer is changed to another web page. It is very
annoying and I do not want to be at that page. Can
anyone tell me what I need to do to make this go away?
Thanks
Kevin

Kevin,

I know that you change your homepage by going to Control
Panel, then Internet Options, and then under the General
settings window type in whatever page you want displayed
as your homepage.
 
You asked! One of these should fix.
