Cannot set home page in IE 8
I recently was infected with the rogue "Internet Security 2010" virus / problem. I have run the Malwarebytes Anti Malware program and have gotten rid of it, and also run a program to fix the lingering problem of not being able to launch programs. I have one remaining problem I can't seem to fix... The home page in Internet Explorer 8 is set to Dell4Me.com, and I try to remove it, change it to another home page, but it keeps reverting to that one. Can someone please help me fix this problem..... it just occurred when I got the "Internet Security 2010" problem. I am running Windows XP Home Edition. muchas gracias! andy1 person needs an answerI do too

If the feature is disabled (greyed out), go to Doug Knox's site and download this script: http://www.dougknox.com/security/scripts_desc/nosethomepage.htm Usage: Download nosethomepage.vbs and save this file to your hard drive. Navigate to where you saved it and double click the file. The VB Script file will check for the appropriate value and if not found will create it. You will be notified whether the option is enabled or disabled. To manually make the change: Start/Run/Regedit HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel\HomePage In the right-hand panel, right-click the HomePage value and select Modify. Change the value to: 00 00 00 00 Also see these keys: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Start Page" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] - DWORD "NoSetHomePage"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions] - DWORD "NoSetHomePage"=dword:00000001 Change the values to 00 00 00 00.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
