Thanks Thom,

But it appears tinybar.com has installed some software on
my computer that causes this problem. I do appreciate
the ALT-F4 solution; but it would be nice to have this
particular pop-up go away all together. Do you know
where the registry entry would be located that controls
this pop-up function? Can you tell me how to disable it?
Can you look at the code that is run by following this
instruction:
****** 2- Go to www.tinybar.com , at the bottom of the
page, click on 'Reset your search page back to MSN' ******

Does it give any clue as to what I need to do in my
registry to make this pop-up go away?
Thanks, Ted
 
Does the following let you change your home page back?

1) Open IE
2) Select Tools->Internet Options -> General tab
3) Edit the address in the "Home Page" section to be whatever you want it to
be
4) Click Apply, then Ok

You may also try a spyware or adware removal program. Spybot and AdAware
seem to be two of the more commonly mentioned ones on the newsgroups, though
there are probably others as well.
