Question How do I get Google homepage back?
My homepage has been taken over by Yahoo and although I've tried to make Google my choice via the Internet Options, the Yahoo page remains.
Would someone tell me where I'm going wrong please?
Many thanks,
Mouser.

Can you remove yahoo thru toolbar at all then go via options like you have done?
Also what are you using IE/Mozilla etc?

If you go to google.co.uk there's usually a link which says make google my homepage.
