I am networked with my main desktop computer. I use a new Gateway Laptop I
purchased in February this year. for some reason My Windows I/E has changed
to MSN I/E. To my knowledge I did nothing to change it, and I don't like MSN
I/E
How can I get my Windows I/E back

The other question is about the same time of the above change, (around
Auguust 15th) I get a Pop up everytime I order a print job from my Laptop to
my desktop Canon Printer saying I "might" be low on ink do I want to buy it
from Gateway? How do I get rid of that. It never appears on my desktop, of
course I don't have gateway on the desktop and I'm not low on ink. I an't
find that in my startups

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me, I have checked all the
places I can think of

Go to Start / Programs / and click on Internet Explorer.
After IE loads, go to Tools / Internet Options / Programs
towards the very bottom is an option of
check to see if IE is the default browser; check that box
also click on Reset Web Settings which will restore IE as default
If you don't want your current home page changed, uncheck that box
hit Apply or OK wherever appropriate when closing out.

Stephen thanks for your response, I had tried that 5 times and it didn't work
then or now
When I went to I/E Properties it say for the Target
%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
I doubt that, that should be there, let me know what you think and thanks
again for trying. I have been at this for a couple of weeks now and have
tried everything I and many can think of, I hate to have to reformat (
someone else of course not old me)
