You know when searching for a particular topic, you can
search through the address bar without having to go to
google or msn? Well, some how it doesn't do that any
more. One of those multiple pop up ordeals, where it
asked if I wanted to change my home page, and I
accidentally clicked yes. I realized what I had done,
changed my home page, but now searching goes through some
crappy third party site which doesn't actually retrieve
anything, and I can't figure out how to fix it. I've
been through all the options, and I can't figure out how
to return ie to its original state. Please help. I'm
not a novice, so if its changing something in the
registry or something more advanced that your basic
troubleshoot, I'm not afraid. Thanks.
