This happens all the time. To change it, go to "Tools" on the top of page, then choose "internet options" and the first box on this page is where you can type in the address for your homepage. Then hit apply at the bottom and it's done!

I've been on AIM waiting for you
Anyway, you should also run a spyware scan to make sure some dumb program didn't sneak in there and decide "hey, I wanna be seen first; so lemme make myself his start page". You can find AdAware, a leading spyware removal program,
here.

I just found a great program that is supposed to prevent your IE homepage from being changed - and it's free!
Find it here:

It happens to me too once in a while. The address of my home page is hard to remember, so I keep a notepad file on my desktop with the address in it. Then it's a simple copy and paste to restore it. If adaware doesn't get it, try Spybot. Spybot is pretty good for catching spyware too, and it's a free download.
