Do you have any software installed which can protect homepage changes…spybot, adaware etc? You could try this registry fix from Kelly’s Corner which unlocks the homepage so changes are possible? Also, in gpedit you may be able to add the default URL there but i’m not sure if that would be system wide or profile specific?? – Click Start -> Run -> type: gpedit.msc – Click OK – Expand the following key: User Configuration | Windows Settings | Internet Explorer Maintenance | URLs – In the right hand window, double click: Important URLs – Check ‘Customize homepage URL’ and enter the desired address – Click Apply/OK to save the changes

Show desktop icon missing.
Where the heck did it go? In most cases you probably deleted it or some funky update disabled it. Anyway getting scared should be the last of your concerns. Here is a little trick to get it back.
To re-create the Show desktop icon yourself, follow these steps:
- Click Start, click Run, type notepad in the Open box, and then click OK.
- Carefully copy and then paste the following text into the Notepad window:
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop - On the File menu, click Save As, and then save the file to your desktop as “Show desktop.scf”. The Show desktop icon is created on your desktop.
- Click and then drag the Show desktop icon to your Quick Launch toolbar.

Print Screen…
Got Dual monitors? If you got two monitors connected to your PC and you need just one monitor to do a print screen, just hold the “ALT” key and hit print screen but make sure you have the windows that you want to print as your active window..
