    Hi there:

    Everytime I open Internet Explorer 7, it automatically takes me to an HP webiste as the homepage.

    I have tried to change it in the Regsitry (regedit), but it automatically changes it back to the same site as soon as I close it down and reopen IE.

    There is obviously something somewhere that is changing the registry after I change it back.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried going to the site you want - like www.msn.com, then while on that site click on the link in the bar, hold down and drag to the house sign (home), and letting go when over it.
