IE > Internet Options > Home page setting?

Hi why is that my IE %26gt; Options home page disable? I can set my home page settings. How can i activate it?

IE %26gt; Internet Options %26gt; Home page setting?microsoft access

The only reasons I can think of is that either your browser's home page has been hijacked by a virus or there is a corporate policy that has disabled the option to change your home page.

If you're using IE 7, on the menu bar somewhere on your right, there's a "Home" button with a picture of a house on it. And right next to it there's a drop down arrow. Click on it after you've navigated to the page you want set as your homepage.

One Love !!!

Is this on a PC at work or at home?

If its at work it may be that the company you work for has implemented a system policy in Windows to make sure that you always go their preferred home page, this policy will also have disabled the function to change it.

If this is the case you can't change it unless you are a system administrator.
You browser may have been hijacked. What you can try is a program called "cwshredder" to solve the problem: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/progr... Scroll down the page a bit and download the program.

Failing that, you can set the homepage with a Windows utility called gpedit.

This was posted on a site which I have put below:

Go to Start Menu.

Choose "Run"

Type "gpedit.msc"

A menu will come up that looks like a file browser. On the left look for the item "User Configuration"

Click the plus next to it, to expand it out.

You will see some folders drop down.

Look for "Windows Settings"

Expand it out.

Look for "Internet Explorer Maintenance"

Expand it out.

Some folders will drop down.

Select the one that says "URLS"

Some items will appear in the right hand side pane.

Double click the one that says "Important URLS"

There will be 3 sets.

The first set is your home page setting. Check the box "Customize Home Page URL"

Enter the page that you want in the blank.

Click "ok"

exit the program.

***************

Now you have set the home page in the most secure way possible.

The next step explains how to prevent any changes being made to that start page. Either by some sort of Spyware or by a User.

In order to reverse this process, you will have to go through these steps listed below again to change the home URL in the future.

Go to Start Menu.

Choose "Run"

Type "gpedit.msc"

When it comes up this time, look for "Administrative Templates."

Expand it out.

Look for "Windows Components"

Expand it out.

Look for "Internet Explorer"

Click on this folder once.

Some items will appear in the right hand side pane.

Look for the one called: "Disable Changing Home Page Settings"

When the menu comes up select the option "Enable" and click "Ok."

Close the program.

**********************

You must do the above steps in order for this to work properly.

Your default home page is now set in stone. If you go into Internet Explorer and check your internet options, you will notice the area to change your home page is now unavailable.

In order to change it, again you must go through the previous step and select "disable" on "Disable Changing Home Page Settings"

***********

This is the lock-down administrative way of stopping that setting from being changed.
There is a setting to lock your home page to prevent hijackers from changing it. I'm on Firefox so I don't know what the IE equivalent is. It should be under options. Just make sure to reset it after the change, for security reasons.
