I noticed when searching the net that others have had this same problem when attempting to change their home page from MSN to Yahoo. Apparently MSN may have something in their software that forces people to keep them as their home page. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks!

At the top, you should have a Tools section. Under tools, there should be Options. Go there, and it will say, Home Page: msn.com. Delete msn, and change it to yahoo.com.

Click on the Start button, then Settings, then Control Panel, choose the Internet Options icon, on the General tab you'll see an address field, type www.yahoo.com then the Use Default button. At the buttom of that window click Apply then OK. Launch Internet Explorer, yahoo is now your new home page.

on your computer desktop right click the internet explorer icon and you will open up the internet explorer properties. from there you can change your homepage to any website you like. Or, you can access the internet explorer properties by opening up an internet explorer window and go the tools menu (you know, where the menu bar is) and select "Internet Options".
Make sure you save the changes by clicking Apply or OK.
Hope this helped.

1. Go to tools way at the top of the page.
2. In the dropdown box, select internet options.
3. Select which page you want as startup page.

If you are using MS internet explorer, go up to tools, at the top of the browser and click on it, then internet options. At the top of that window should be a place to input the web site you want to be your home page.

open www.yahoo.com, you would see a link on the yahoo page to that says Make Yahoo! your homepage, click that and say yes to the prompt. that should do it for internet explorer and MSN Explorer 8.0 to 9.5 or if they have 10 already ( havent worked for them for a long time now so im not sure)

At the top of the Yahoo! homepage, there is usually a place to click on that says "make Yahoo! my home page"

when you install msn, there's an option that MSN will be your new homepage and you can select, or deselect that option
to change it:
go into tools, internet options and first option should be your home page and change it to desired home page
