Dear all,

I have a problem, someone use the W2K prof to open a webpage contain vbscript, so now when I restart the W2K and open the IE, it will be pointing to a junk webpage. Even I change the startpage from IE option, it will be back again to that junk webpage when I restart the computer.

I also already try to find and remove that url from registry, but it not help :(

So, I try to solve that problem than reinstall the W2K. Maybe someone could help me.

Thank you in advance
 
Try this,Right Click the IE icon on Desktop>Proprieties, delete all cookies, delete files and all offline content,History and then click on Programs Tab and Reset Web Settings. Hope this Helps.

PS: Do not open the browser to do the above.

This may be kind of a work around, but I always install a little free piece of software called freesurfer MKII (just do a google search), it kills pop ups and has an option to lock the home page in IE. Hope that helps.
