Lesson 7   Going "Home"




Changing the Default Home Page in Internet Explorer 3.0X

       You can change the home page configuration by doing the following:

  1. Open the View Menu and choose Options.


  2. Select the Navigation tab at the top of the dialog box (see diagram below).
  3. Locate the Page section of the dialog box and select Start Page.
  4. Enter the following URL in the Address box: http://www.studyweb.com.
    Make sure to enter it exactly.
  5. Click OK at the bottom of the dialog box.


    You have now reconfigured the home page to which Internet Explorer will default. Therefore, not only will your browser default to this page when you start up, it will also return to this page when you click on the Home button. You can change this configuration at any time by following the above procedure.

Note: You may need to restart the browser in order for this new configuration to take effect. This is NOT the case for all browsers.
