Well recently i have gotten recently very unhappy at the websites that were designated "home" for IE for me. I WANT TO CHANGE TO A NEW ONE!!! So my question is when you open up IE what does your IE or other web program (name slips the mind) point to??

I'm not sure what you are asking. Do you want to know what my start page is, or how you change yours, or both?

Depending on what computer it is, my home page is either chiefdelphi.com, google.com, or about:blank

you'd be surprised. google is my homepage too.

i even have a collection going of all of the images they use on their main page for holidays.

i dont need chief as a homepage because i can type the link in about 3 seconds :)


And to Andrew- go to IE, select TOOLS, select INTERNET OPTIONS..., and there is a field where you will be able to enter a website name. If that ISNT your problem and you have another browser set as your default (i wasn't quite sure of the question), you need to find a list of what programs open what files and change them around. Good luck.

Window Blinds is one of those programs.
The link below shows a flash animation of
a bunch of skins you can apply to your desktop/windows/etc

That gives you the ability to make your Windows Interface look like MAC (or anything, really)

I used it for a little bit. But got tired of having to think about where all of my commonly-used things were, so i switched back to regular old win2k.

Methinks you need a lesson in who makes what. Intel
and AMD make processors that Microsoft's Windows
Operating System runs on (as well as other OSes
including Linux, OS/2, BeOS, etc.). Microsoft will
not ever make anything "faster" than a dual G4
because they don't make processors nor do they make
computers. Motorola makes the processor that Apple
uses in the computers they make. Apple also makes
the Macintosh OS. So let's look at competitors here.
Apple competes with Microsoft on software. Intel
and AMD compete with Motorola on hardware. You can
make software faster but normally you make software
slower by adding more features. You can also make
hardware faster. So really Intel and AMD don't make
anything faster than dual G4's (which is a claim I'd
debate -- speed is dependant on a lot of things
including what precisely you're doing and other
hardware besides the processor such as RAM, video
card, bus speed, hard drive speed, etc.). So at
least you can argue about the right things now...

You can debate over macs vs. PCs *or* macOS vs. Windows vs. UNIX, but the fact is, Bill Gates owns a heck of a lot of Apple stock (I think about 10%). Remember, Microsoft products are one of the most popular software on Macs as well. And most Mac users I know run Windows emulators. Plus, I don't see any Mac-sponsored FIRST teams out there......

And I don't see any Microsoft sponsored ones either.

I was told). I would however like to point out that
Motorola (that makes the G4) is a big sponsor of
FIRST. I do believe that Intel sponsors at least one
team as does Sun. So maybe we should all use Sun
workstations? I could agree to that. ;)

about that 'rediculosity'...it seems even more foolish since windows is essentially a mac-emulator in and of itself...therefore a windows emulator is basically a thing that lets you knock off a knock off of what youre already running...

: 1 I don't know about this crazy windows emulator,
: because i personally have never seen or heard of
: one until now. but I assume that if such
: rediculosities exist, it's because people want to
: use pc software on a mac computer, which in and
: of itself is a foolish plan
: 2 if i was loaded like bill gates and as money
: grubbing as he is, i would buy up large portions of
: good companies too.
: and
: 3 microsoft software is popular because it is a
