Open Internet Explorer. Where are you? You're on your home page! Your home page is the first page you see when you log on to Internet Explorer. Your home page might be Education World; your school Web site; a search engine, such as Yahoo, an e-mail provider, such as Hotmail, or any other site you choose! Changing your home page is easy -- once you know how. For example, to make Education World your home page:

• In the address bar, type http://www.educationworld.com and hit Enter. You should now see Education World's main page.
• In the address bar, find the blue Internet Explorer E directly to the left of Education World's URL.
• Drag the Internet Explorer icon to the house icon in the Internet Explorer menu bar.
• Click YES to answer the question: "Do you want to make Education World your home page?"
• To check whether the change was successful, type the URL of any other site in the address bar and hit ENTER. Then click the house icon. If the change was successful, Internet Explorer will return to Education World's home page.
• If the change was not successful, go to the site you want as your home page, and then click Tools>Internet Options. Under the General tab, click Use Current and OK.
