How do I get rid of this appearance?

Dear Rosie2,

You have two ways of changing your default home page:

? Open IE6 and go to Tools > Internet Options.

? On the General tab, Home page address, type in the URL address of
your choice, for example, ://www.google.com.

? Click OK and it's done.

or

? Open IE6 and go to the website that you want to be your homepage.

? Go to Tools > Internet Options and on the General tab, Home page
address, click on Use Current

? Click OK and it's done.


In case you still have aproblem with setting your home page or your
home page unexpectedly changes everytime, please follow the
instructions described in this link:
