Homepage items change with each boot.
Lately, the items on my Homepage, such as, stock qotes, sport scores and local weather conditions etc, either disappear or change in their content. I have to enter the items all over again with each start up...it's getting frustrating!! I'm using MSN (with Vista Home Ed.) as my Homepage. What can I do to get the homepage to stop changing? Thanks.

Do you have it set to log in (Sign In) automaticlly?
If not, it will not reload your settings, but load the default ones.

To get my homepage up at startup , I just click on the IE icon. The only time I have to 'sign in', is when I have cleared all of the cookies.

Then you have some security program that is removing your cookies and/or IE tempt files that are related to the MSN home page.

I'll check, but, to the best of my recollection, I haven't added or changed any programs. Do you have any suggestions where to look for these or what they may be called? Thanks.

Look at your signature, any one of those could be helping you out!
Have you updated ANY of them about the time this started?
