This may be be an insult to your intelligence, but after you either click on "Use Current or type in the URL you want to be the home page, are you clicking APPLY and then OK?

None taken. I did that. "current" "apply". What happens is, it temporarily saves it. If i were to log off, and log back on (closing int explorer) it returns to the old settings.

Is IE6 Beta version startup significantly slower than IE5? Is it worth upgrading? Have you had problems with it compared to IE5?

I have run into a few incompatibility problems with IE6. One and I think the most major was trying to pay a bill online to Ford Credit. Finally their tech support (at Ford Credit) told me it was the IE6...That is after they tacked on late fees of course...:) I just downloaded an older version of Netscape and I use that to pay that bill and the rest I use IE6. Although I have run into a few errors, where it asks to send an error report, they seem to be few and far between.

dell may automatically have this programmed, but try this. u can do this from this page if u wish, click TOOLS click on INTERNET OPTIONS. click the SECURITY tab, click the INTERNET icon (to highlight it) and click the CUSTOM LEVEL tab. make sure the first three ActiveX controls are marked as PROMPT, explorer will now prompt u to change your home page instead of doing it automatically (do this after you set your home page to where u want it, then follow the instructions above) GOOD LUCK
