MSN page appearing instead of Intranet Homepage

[co6812]

Hi,

My company runs XP Pro SP2. With IE6 SP2.

A script runs on startup to open Internet explorer of which the default home page is our sharepoint intranet site.


In the last month or so users have randomly been telling me that after they log in IE opens, starts to open the intranet page and then somehow changes to load up

http://www.msn.com.

This seems to be completely random and effects poeple running the same build and laptops and PC's.

If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it as I'm stumped.

P.S. I've ran Adaware and Spybot on a number of machines that have reported the problem and all are clean.

Have you gone into the browser settings of these affected PCs to see what the home page settings are set to?

Yes. It's set to our Intranet page.

Yes. It's set to our Intranet page.

Also I have searched the registry for msn.com and found no entries. Weird. I'm wondering if it;s a GPO thing?????


cheers

Odd - do the affected PCs have MSN messenger installed? A total guess, but it could be somehow affecting the home page.
