To remove: Lock IE start page setting against user changes (current user):
Edit this (dword from 00000001 to 00000000):

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel]
"Homepage"=dword:00000001
To this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel]
"Homepage"=dword:00000000

this is so strange, it's 0 at the end of the string, but still, it's locked.

Are you running ZoneAlarm firewall? If so what version?

There are problems with ZoneAlarm 6.5.7xx versions. See the following thread:

There is a new version that I believe fixes the problem for Free ZoneAlarm. See the last two posts in this thread:
Cannot update Spybot Hosts file

I personally am still running Free ZoneAlarm Version 6.1.744_001 because there were also reports that ZoneAlarm 6.5.7xx versions were causing problems with system restore and I don't know if that problem has been resolved yet.
