Setting Your Home Page

Home page is a term that really has two meanings. Every website has a home page - usually the first page you see when you go to that website. (You can go to Computers Made Easy's home page by click the "Home" button on the blue bar at the left.)

But you have a home page too. It's the first page you see when you connect to the Internet. Usually your ISP or your computer sets this for you, but you are free to change it.

NOTE TO AOL/COMPUSERVE USERS: You do not see your home page when you connect to your ISP - you see AOL or Compuserve's information. In some versions of these browsers, you are not able to set your home page at all.

Setting Your Home Page

• View the page you want as your home page. (Either type the address or, if it is in your Favorites, click on it to go to that page.)
• Click the TOOLS menu and choose INTERNET OPTIONS.
  On the GENERAL tab, click the USE CURRENT button.
• The next time you start Internet Explorer, it will initially display this page.
