Hi Flashorn. Yes, absolutely the way you mentioned is an easier option; however, I believe your suggestion is only available in Internet Explorer 7. I have not used Internet Explorer 6 in so long that I am not sure if that option is available within it. I am using Mozilla Firefox now and I know that is not available with it.
I wanted to cover the basics that each internet browser has. This way, no matter what version one uses, the person would have the ability to change the homepage.

Hey MPH!!
Your way is how everyone usually changes the home page. There is another way ,easier. I wish I could upload screen shots in here.
OK, on Internet's home page , underneath the tool bars,and on the right hand side, there is a little house with a vertical bar next to it.
click on the vertical bar and you have the option to change your home page right there with ought having to go in the TOOLS MENU.
When you click on the vertical bar you will see your home page on the top, the next option will be ADD or CHANGE HOME PAGE.
the third option will be DELETE ALL. I didn't want to start a new thread just to add screen shots. I hope my explanations are clear enough to follow.
FLASHORN.
