Like a bad penny.........
Suddenly,my home page has changed (to: res://mshp.dll/index.html#10213) It would seem someone has "agreed" to set this as the home page.... I've gone to Tools>Internet Options and channged home page address, but the "new" pages keeps returning like a bad penny. How can I stop this from happening???
TIA R...

I would get adaware (http://www.lavasoft.de/) and spybot (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and run both of those to make sure that there is no spyware or ad-ware hijacking your browser, too..

I have worked on a system where we would reset the home page (in IE and in the actual registry), ran Adaware, I checked msconfig and registry for bugs running at startup- completely clean. Yet after reboot the start page would be coolsearch or something stupid. No idea what to do about it.

Did you update ad-aware before you ran it? It's just like an anti-virus program and runs from a definition file to check for problems.
Also, run spybot too, it catches stuff that ad-aware misses.... |

Could be a HOSTS file problem. Follow the link in the last post by Redo.
