IE Home Page by innet57 on 01-23-2005 at 08:57 AM

Could someone please tell me how to change my Home Page back to what it was, (I know how to do it under normal circumstances) - but there must be a way around the way Messenger Plus is rewriting it every time I change it.

I'm well aware that I agreed to sponsor advertising, but there was no explanation that my Home Page would be replaced by something that is totally useless in Australia. 

Pop-ups are acceptable, even a moderate amount of spam - but exiling my Home Page completely is not on.

Thanks.

Hi innet,

thank you for giving the sponsor a try :). If you don't like it, just uninstall Messenger Plus! and follow the instructions given by the sponsor's uninstaller. After you reboot yourcomputer, you can reinstall Messenger Plus! without the sponsor (during uninstallation, don't forget the option to keep your settings).

The alternative, if you wish to retain the sponsor, is to use a different browser ;) I recommend Mozilla/FireFox @ http://www.mozilla.org

Hmm, nobody has mentioned that the MP Sponsor Program should NOT be resetting your home page every time you restart.  Expected behaviour is for the change of home page to stay, and a second blue toolbar, the Passthrough toolbar appearing.

Did a second toolbar (blue) appear at the bottom of your screen when you changed your home page?  If not, we have another 'installer' problem and/or you have a version of Lop that did not come from MP.
