For those of you that are still using Internet Explorer...

Last week I tried to remove an unwanted homepage which "persistently nailed" into IE. Tried reset homepage in IE but had no effect. Tried MSE, SAS and others and they said they couldn't find anything. Tried reg edit recommended somewhere but they failed to work.

No other choice and this is the cure for me: Reinstalled the Vista image from a partition pre-set by the Notebook manufacturer.

You reinstalled your os just because your homepage was hijacked? That's kind of overkill. And it wasn't even your primary browser...

Actually there's a way to bypass it by using a shortcut to open IE with a blank page like "C:\...." -nohome.

But wanted that nail to be pulled out, coupled with the Notebook which had been carrying too many junks for years. So that was a good chance to get rid of them altogether with one shot. After reinstalling from the default image of that notebook for the first time, it looked like getting a totally new car with new paint, without any persistent rust and dust which couldn't do away with washing.
