SYMPTOMS

On a computer that is running Windows Vista, consider the following scenario:

  • You restart the computer.
In this scenario, the home page is reset to the URL that is described under the Home_page item in the install.ins file in the %SystemRoot%\Program Files\Internet Explorer\SIGNUP folder.
