Internet Explorer 6 Miscellaneous

Get Rid of Home Pages!

SUMMARY: Get rid of your Internet Explorer 6 home page and start with a blank window every time.


 

Tired of seeing MSN, or another webpage every time you start Internet Explorer 6? Get rid of this homepage and start with a nice, blank, clean window by clicking the "Tools" menu and selecting "Internet Options." On the "Internet Options" multi-tabbed dialog box that follows, make sure the "General" tab is selected. Under "Home page," click the "Use Blank" button. Press OK to close the dialog box.

Now, every time you start Internet Explorer 6, a blank page should appear with "about:blank" in the location bar.
