Re: Homepage won't change.
Now that the problem's been solved, can I add a little something that might be of interest.

When I installed ntl broadband it changed my home page to ntlworld. At the same time it greyed out the field in the part of IE that lets you change the homepage, so I seemed to be stuck with it. The ntl Help Desk washed their hands of the problem, so I did a bit of googling. The solution I found was to go to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer

in the Registry. Both the NoBrowserOptions key in Restrictions and the Homepage key in Control Panel were set to 0x00000001. I changed both values to 0 and this allowed my homepage to be changed.
