When you click on Internet Explorer and connect to go the net, you will arrive at a specific page. This page is known as your 'home page'. It is beneficial to set your home page to something that is in some way relevant to you, like a search engine you regularly use, or your email page; however you can set it to any page you like, including anything on the internet � or even blank if you prefer!

1. Open Internet Explorer � (if you have accounts set up in XP then you may need to be in an administrator account)
2. Navigate/browse to the page that you want to set your home page to.
3. From the menu bar choose Tools -> Internet options.
4. When the options dialog box opens click the �general� tab.
5. The first section is the �home page� section � click �set current� � (your home page is now set to the page you are currently at)
6. Shut down Internet Explorer and start it again � it should open on your new home page.

N.B. You can also go to your home page anytime you like while browsing just by clicking the �home� button located on the toolbar at the top.
