Internet Explorer Problem
« on: January 18, 2004, 07:44:15 AM »
When I run Internet Explorer and try to go to www.msn,com I am getting another site. This does not happen in Compuserve. Does anyone know how to stop this redirection or whatever it is.

Thanks

Check your settings in IE under TOOLS.  See what your home page is, ie. MSN.com.  If you want to change your home page, simply enter a new URL and apply the change.  Shut down IE and bring it back up again.  If a re-direction occurs, check the IE/windows Registry.  *Very TrickY*

I solved my problem today. The redirection was taking place in the HOSTS file in the windows directory. It is a text file that can be edited to remove the links causing the problem.
