IE6 Does not start with Homepage Specified

[daph]

Hi!

I have IE6 installed. I have the icon on my desktop and I also have it in my MS Office Toolbar. Here is my little problem...When I use the icon on the toolbar to start up IE, it never opens to my homepage. It always opens to

http://auto.search.msn.com/response.asp?MT=Internet+Explorer&srch=5&prov=&utf8

But when I click on my Home button, it goes to the correct page. If I use the icon on my desktop, it works fine.

I check the properties of both icons and everything is the same...the homepage address is the same for both. The browsers that open are the same version.

This used to work fine...it seems to have happened when I upgraded to IE6.

Has anyone experienced this problem before? Anyone have a clue why it does this and how to fix it? It's just really annoying.

Thank a lot!

You might try getting and running Spybot Search and Destroy from

I believe some of the Spyware it finds are the "homepage hijackers".
