Changing Your Home Page

Whether you use Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer, you may decide that you would rather use a home page other than the one assigned by default. To change the homepage in Microsoft Internet Explorer, navigate to the page you want to use and then choose Tools|Internet Options. When the dialog box opens, click the General tab (if necessary). Now, under "Home page," click Use Current and then click OK.

In Netscape (we're using Navigator), navigate to the page you want to use and choose Edit|Preferences. When the Preferences dialog box opens, click Use Current Page and then click OK.

My note.....I changed my home page to google...it builds quick, and not many graphics...then I can go from there.

did you know that you can make your own homepage with all the links you frequent?.....talk about loading fast!

i've got mine set up with links to things like drudge, here, couple of other forums, google, lycos (for locating images), my own web site, couple of news sites, etc

you just basically build and save a "startup.html" page in something like simpletext, and then choose it like you did google

if you'd like, just email me and i'll show you how to do a simple coding

One of the standard options is "about blank". That's what I use, makes loading so much quicker.
