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.

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

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.

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

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

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!!
