The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Unable to change Internet Explorer Homepage from MSN.com to Blank

Asked by chuck53 in Web Browsers

Tags: change, unable, homepage, page, explorer

After cleaning out this WIN98XE system of viruses and spyware and setting Internet Explorer to "blank", I set the Home Page back to msn.com. Now, we are unable to change the default Home Page back to "blank" or anything else. It always comes up to msn.com. (yes we do the IE, Tools, Internet Options, Blank, Apply, OK). This machine is running a good antivirus and Webroot Spysweeper program now and has been swept with the latest defs.

Can I fix this by doing a repair on Internet Explorer latest version (6.x) without going into the registry and checking all the IE keys? I don't think a trojan is doing this. I may have removed an IE entry by mistake with HiJackThis but thought I was careful not to do this.

I do not have access to this machine to post a log or look at the registry so the question here is: Will a "Fix Internet Explorer" repair this problem or is there another way I can direct a non teckie friend to fix this without bringing the machine back to me and going through the normal debug process.
