I had the same problem for the past 3months and I've just figure out what was going on...
since you have Norton just like me I'd like you to go under option, select Norton Antivirus and on the left side you sould have a link : homepage protection.
I'd like to make sure that you do not have the box to prevent all modification to your home page checked because that was my problem!
if you have a check mark remove it and go on Tools in IE & change to the homepage that you'd like and go back to norton and check the box... this will prevent any futur program from Microsoft to change your homepage!
Hope this fix your problem and make your computer obey your every command.

Well a year on from my first post with the 'locked home page' problem & everything is still fine. (longest the PC has been without hitches & having to format) i'm happy about that! The problem can lie with Spybot, & Nortons, but there are tweaks within these programs to easily rectify. My problem was totaly solved just by starting in safe mode, changing the home page to whatever then starting up in normal mode. The new chosen home page appeared but i couldn't change the home page to anything else. I then deleted from the registry: microsoft.com/isapi/redir...r=6&ar=msnhome.
The home page still couldn't be changed. But two weeks later everything was completely ok, all i had to do after deleting the above Reg key was to do a restart afterwards! But didn't realise this until i tried changing the home page a fortnite later.

Cozzy is completely right. only the reg edit, or a prog. that creates/prevents reg changes can act this way i.e. spysweeper, win patrol, norton, mcafee, ect...

That Norton thing worked for me. You know, I try everything else, and that's all it is.
Thank you.
Thank you.
