I was signing up to MSN Messenger and must have clicked something or other and now I have lost Google as my homepage and have to put it in MSN search box. It's a real nuisance. Could somebody PLEASE tell me how to make Google my homepage again??? Many thanks. I feel an idiot!!

Go to tools click on internet options on home page write http://www.google*co*uk/ remember to replace * with . click ok Think that should work

Which browser do you use? IE6? IE7? Firefox? Cheers, Horatia

Thanks Joseanne - I think that has worked. I forgot to click on 'yes' at first so it's taken some time - told you I was an idiot!!! The page looks different than it was - have they altered it? Many thanks. J

Even easier - next time you're at the Google home page, click on the link that says - ''Make Google Your Homepage!''

Thinking again, I think you might have to click apply then ok. I seem to remember when we had problems last year that when we turned to pc off we lost our homepage again until we clicked apply.

Have come to the conclusion it isn't just me as every time I cllck on my favourites I get ' washington post..com' - and that's a fat lot of use!!!! I'm tired and hungry so will leave it for today. Thank you all for trying - and Richard, if you can find 'Make Google my Homepage' perhaps you'd let me in on the secret as it doesn't seem to be there anymore lol !! Back tomorrow. J

Well it's definitely on my Google page, and is also on www.google*co.uk . It's slap-bang in the middle of the page, a few lines underneath the search box.
