When you first launch your web browser a predefined web page
appears. This page is referred to as the home page or start page. The good
news is that you're not stuck with this particular page. Why would you want to change
it? That depends on which home page is your default home page and how useful
it is to you.
There's No Place Like Home (Page)A browser's default page depends on where you obtained the software. If you downloaded it from Firefox, Netscape, Microsoft or Apple, the home page is usually a page from the websites of one of these companies. If your browser came with a new computer, the default home page might be that of the manufacturer. It could also be that of your Internet service provider if it provided your browser software. If it was installed by your company, the home page may be your company or department page.Depending on your personal preference, you can reset the home page to any one you like, whether it provides serious information or is just plain fun. It might be a home page you visit every morning, such as a news site or a website related to your work. Whichever home page you select, you can return to it at any time by clicking the Home button on the toolbar.
Move to a New HomeHere's how to specify another start page:
 If you use Internet Explorer, first go to the page you want. Now click on the Tools menu, then select Internet Options. Click on the General tab. Finally, click on the Use Current button. You can also type in the address of the page. For instance, if you want Learn the Net to be your home page, enter the complete address, like this: http://www.learnthenet.com
 With Netscape Navigator, go to the Edit menu, then select Preferences. In the Home page section, either click on the Use Current button if you're on the correct page or type the new web address in the box, then click on the OK button.
 With Firefox, go to the Tools menu, then select Options. In the Home page section, either click on the Use Current button if you're on the correct page or type the new web address in the box. Finally, click on the OK button. It's that easy. Now enjoy your new neighborhood.
