Question: "How Do I Change My Home Page in Internet Explorer 7?"

Most likely, the default home page setting in IE7 is not pointing to the website that you visit the most. When launching your browser, it makes sense to have one of your favorite Web pages or group of Web pages be the initial destination. Internet Explorer 7 gives you the ability to set one home page or several home page tabs to automatically open each time you launch your browser.

Answer:

Changing your home page settings in IE7 can be achieved in a few easy steps. First, determine which URL or set of URLs that you would like to use for your home page or set of home page tabs. Each time you launch IE, your home page or home pages will automatically be displayed assuming you have an active Internet connection.

You can also access your home page or set of home page tabs at any time by clicking Internet Explorer's Home Page button, located at the far right hand of your IE Tab Bar. Another way to launch your home page or set of home page tabs is to utilize the following keyboard shortcut: Alt+M.

Many people write in asking the question How do I change my home page? However, you may just want to completely remove your home page or your set of home page tabs. IE7 also gives you the ability to easily remove your home page or home page tabs.
