My Home page has been hijacled by msn.com, when i change the home page in tools/...., it is not remebered next time i log in and reverts to msn.com, which is very annoying, looking at the threads this seems to have been a problem 3 or so years ago and noone seemed to have a definitive way of clearing the problem. Does anyone now know how to solve this problem
When I switched to IE7 this finally stopped MSN from loading,after trying the "use current page" many times. HTH
