I use an internet provider called "localnet." I installed
their software, and now i can't change my homepage. It is
stuck on "localnet." Nothing under the internet options
is...."CLICKABLE."

Start > Run, type: regedit

Locate the following key;

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Internet Explorer/Main

Look for the keys: "Localpage" and "Startpage" in the right pane.

Alternatively, just do a search for "localnet".
