• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Please excuse what might seem a stupid question, but I seem to recall using Spybot to lock my home page, to prevent it being hijacked to another one. I now want to change my home page but of course can not Can someone please tell me how to allow a change of home page please ? I am sure that its fairly easy but just have not got a clue how to do it !

Thanks
:confused:
 
Hello,

Change your start page: Please run Spybot-S&D. Please select "Tools" --> "Browser pages" in the left bar.
There, please search for the entry with the unwanted starting pages.
Mark it and click "Change" (in the bar at the top).
Then type your wanted starting page like www.google.de or perhaps about:blank.
Now go to 'Tools'->'IE Tweaks'. There you'll see a group of Recommended miscellaneous locks.
Untick the checkboxes in front of both Lock IE... options.
You may need to close all Explorer windows, and maybe even restart Windows before these changes take place.

Best regards
Sandra
