Hi, Open a Internet Explorer Browser, select tools, internet options, select the programs tab, and towards the bottom of the box, you will see a reset web settings button click it, you will be asked do you want to reset the web settings select yes, BUT make sure that you uncheck the change homepage option, and then click ok, you should be all set. Hope that helps.

    Hi i will presume that you are using internet explorer as your browser if so type into your address bar http://www.yahoo.com and clic search , once you have yahoo up clic tools then internet options at the top of the box in the home section just clic on USE CURRENT and apply it , now each visit to internet explorer yahoo will be your home page and you can use the yahoo search engine.

    You can also make changes in the registry if you know how to edit the registry.
