[HBsurf]

I inherited a Dell desktop from my Mom and am attempting to bring it up to speed. One headache I have not been able to eliminate is the inability to change IE start page. I have attempted all of the usual ways, including going into the Registry to physically change the address for the start page but I get the message "cannot edit start page - error writing values". I'm thinking that there is some code hiding somewhere that is locking this procedure.

Please review the HJT file and see if you can find something I have overlooked. Thanks in advance.
