Change your homepage on Internet Explorer -

If you would like to use a different homepage for Internet Explorer, then this is how you change your current homepage to your new choice. For this example we currently have our Homepage setup for Virgin Media but we just want to use the Google UK Homepage which will give us fast access to internet searches. This is how we would change the homepage from Virgin to Goggle:

1. Open Internet Explorer
Depending on which version of Internet Explorer you may be running (this tutorial is using Version 9) then look to your top right hand corner and you will see 3 symbols -
A house - which is your quick home button (this is your Homepage)
A star - this is your favourites button
A cog - this is a shortcut button to other settings

If you don't see these symbols then you are probably running an older version of Internet Explorer - read this bit still but skip down to where it says Older Version!



2. Click on the Cog and you will see various options
Print
File
Zoom
Safety
View Downloads and so forth...

See where it says Internet Options?
Choose that option

Just like the image below your current homepage will be highlighted in blue



To change the homepage to Google just type in:
http://www.google.co.uk/

Then just as the image below shows click Apply and then click OK



You have now changed your Homepage to the new Google page. Now when you click the Home Icon, your new homepage will load!

OLDER VERSIONS:

If you are running older versions of Internet Explorer you may not see the symbols we described earlier, but the way of changing the homepage is very similar. If you have a toolbar along the top of your browser window you may see the words -

File | Edit | View | Favourites | Tools | Help

Just select Tools >> Internet Options
and you can see where the images above come from

Hi guevara68

We would suspect that the encryption is setup to prevent safe mode logins. You should try safe mode with networking first. If this does not work then as it is a works laptop, and it is encrypted, you may have to refer it to your IT department to have it checked.

The information below is given as a guide only - if the laptop contains important data then you are advised to contact the IT department who are responsible for your works laptop!!!

If you can login using the normal method then is there an option for you to disable the encryption on the laptop?

To help answer your question better, which version of Windows are you running, and what type of encryption does the laptop use?

Hi,

My laptop has just been infected with the UKAS Met. Police virus.

Before I read your post, I tried a suggestion on another site which involved restarting in "safe mode" only, not "safe mode with networking". Once in safe mode I was taken to my log in screen, however, it did not recognise my log in details so I could go no further. I should say my laptop is a work laptop and is encrypted. Would this be the reason it did not recognise my log in details in safe mode? Would starting in safe mode with networking solve this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.]]> Mon, 23 Apr 2012 16:30:08 +0000 http://www.123simples.com/forum/ukash-metropolitan-police-virus-scam_topic207_post406.html#406 http://www.123simples.com/forum/should-i-use-com-or-couk_topic261_post404.html#404 Author: DougHoff
Subject: Should i use .com or .co.uk
Posted: 19 Apr 2012 at 7:38am

Should I use .co.uk or .com domain name for my website?
One of the most common questions we get asked about when clients ask us to register domain names, is which is the best extension to place a website on - .co.uk or .com?

The choice is of course down to you, but the best way of answering the question is to ask yourself if your website is targeted for a UK audience only. If the answer is yes then it would be reasonable to use a .co.uk for your website. With over 10 million .co.uk domains on the Nominet Registrar, the annual growth rate is 7.84% which still shows a high demand for .co.uk extensions. Source: Nominet
If companies and small businesses are still buying .co.uk domains, then there must be a good reason for them to do this. It is also more than likely that UK users prefer using .co.uk addresses.

If your target audience is global rather than just the UK, then use a .com (dot com) domain

In most cases we always tend to recommend buying both extensions if they are available, even if you intend on just using the .co.uk, you would not really then want someone else buying the .com version of your domain name, and trying to "steal" your brand and identity.]]> Thu, 19 Apr 2012 07:38:32 +0000 http://www.123simples.com/forum/should-i-use-com-or-couk_topic261_post404.html#404 http://www.123simples.com/forum/3-important-facts-for-website-design_topic260_post403.html#403 Author: Andy blunt
Subject: 3 Important Facts For Website Design
Posted: 17 Apr 2012 at 11:42am

1) Use powerful splash pages: Splash pages or captures pages are the first page your visitors see when they arrive at your website. You must give your visitor a call of action or a need for them to enter their name and email to be taken to the next page which should be your sales page

2) Do not use excessive banner advertisements: Even the least net savvy people have trained themselves to ignore banner advertisements so you will be wasting valuable website real estate. Instead, provide more valuable content and weave relevant affiliate links into your content.

3) Have a simple and clear navigation of your website:You must make your websites straight to the point and very easy to understand. Your website has to be easy for a teenager to understand it and easily navigate through it. This way it is compatible for any person or any age looking for what you have to offer.]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:42:39 +0000 http://www.123simples.com/forum/3-important-facts-for-website-design_topic260_post403.html#403 http://www.123simples.com/forum/know-your-goals-before-building-your-website_topic179_post402.html#402 Author: Andy blunt

Subject: Funmoods - Removal of browser toolbar
Posted: 28 Mar 2012 at 8:56am

Further to this post above there is no quick way of removing the application -

However, some simple steps taken should get rid of Funmoods. Step by step the removal process can be a bit time consuming, as the application which is a browser add on, resets your homepage and mucks around with all the internet searches too. It will install itself on any browser you have installed on your computer, so getting rid of it is not just as simple as clicking a switch. In order the tasks are:

1. Uninstall from Windows.
2. Remove the add-on/extension.
3. Fix your home page setting.
4. Fix your default search setting.

First you need to uninstall it from Windows.  Go To Control Panel >> Programs >> Uninstall a program.  Find Funmoods, and uninstall it.

Then you need to fix each browser and get rid of it. To remove the add-on in any of these browsers -

Internet Explorer - Tools >> Manage Ad-ons >> Extensions
Chrome - The wrench top right corner >> Tools >> Extensions
Firefox - Tools >> Add-ons >> Extensions

Find Funmoods and remove by uninstalling that particular extension

NEXT you need to reset your homepage back to your prior choices -

Internet Explorer - Tools >> Internet Options >> General Tab >> Home Page >> Put in the web address >> Use Current >> Apply >> OK



Chrome - The wrench top right corner >> Options >> Basics >> Open this page >> Put in the web address



Firefox - Tools >> Options >> General Tab >> Home Page >> Put in the web address >> Use Current pages >> OK



NEXT you need to reset your Search Providers back to your prior choices -

Internet Explorer - Tools >> Manage Ad-ons >> Search Providers >> Choose the default one - if funmoods shows up DELETE IT

Chrome - The wrench top right corner >> Options >> Basics >> See the search box? Copy and paste this: Manage search engines and then make sure you have selected Google and not funmoods!!!



Firefox - Right hand top corner you should see to the left of your Home Button a dropdown search box. Click the arrow and choose Manage Search Engines - Choose Google and if Funmoods is there DELETE IT





If you followed the above everything should now be back to normal and Funmoods is just a distant memory. If you have been unable to REMOVE funmoods, then restart your computer in SAFE MODE and repeat the steps above. Safe Mode will only load the most basic drivers and system requirements, but it also helps when removing processes that are a bit awkward to delete when the system may be running normally!
