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

WOOHOO!!!

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.

Yahoo owns Google?

According to Google's own corporate page, they're privately held.

Yahoo does use Google as it's search engine, though. :)

that's a good idea

And Apple "borrowed" it from the Xerox people that developed a similar system back in the '70s...I know I've read this...just don't remember the details right now...

Besides, what about all of the smaller programs out there that make a Windows desktop look EXACTLY like a Mac? Don't laugh, I've seen them...

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.

The fact that there is a market for programs that make windows look like a mac prooves that macs are better.

and i don't know about xerox hooblah.

Besides, twin G4's beat anything that a pc will have for a long time.

MAC vs. Windows...

I don't know that anyboby's going to get their minds changed and as like as not Chris Hibner is going to get all weepy on us and start telling us about the old days when men were men and DOS was the best thing since sliced bread ;-)
