One of my users has noticed that since we've switched our intranet home page (and she's been set to have IE start there) her IE keeps changing to a yahoo.com site. She resets it to the correct URL, but it stays set only as long as the PC is on--when she restarts the PC the yahoo site is back. Oddly enough, she says she's never even been to this yahoo site before.
This is a standard version of IE, not one from an ISP that might have some prestored homepage. I've confirmed her LAN settings, had her delete all temp and offline content and run the IE repair utility, all to no avail.
Any other ideas? Where is this stored in the registry, maybe editing it from there will make it retain the right URL?
