I want to know, when one installs Charter internet access on a Windows
computer, in the US:

1. To what does it set the homepage on Internet Explorer?
2. Does it install any toolbars?
3. What icons/links does it add on the desktop?
4. What links does it add to the start menu?
5. What links does it add to the Taskbar?
6. What favorites/links does it prepopulate?
7. Does it come with any browsers other than Internet Explorer (eg
Netscape, Firefox, an AOL-style client)
8. Does it install anything else?

Does it ask the user whether he wishes to set these, or does it just
go ahead and set them?

Thank you.

It's the Opt Online (self) service that I want.

No it's not, it's the MSN co branded service :)

I've had charter for several years now.  They may have established a
home page at one time but I've changed it several times since then. 
Charter is a modem cable connection it doesn't add icons, links,
favorites, browsers, nor install anything of which I'm aware.  When
they install the cable and modem, they should ask you your preference,
otherwise they'll use whatever default they chose.
