Answer» I have just got Broadband and the BT Broadband Browser has the same address as the Microsoft INTERNET Explorer Browser I like to use. Is it normal to have 2 browsers with different buttons and wording at the top to have the same address. If they had different addresses I could enter the MIE one in the BT Broadband browser and ask it to use it as my home page. I can't because it has the same address. Yahoo! UK & Ireland -Microsoft Internet Explorer (The one I like which gives me access to O/Express) BT Yahoo Browser -UK & Ireland (which does not) both have the same address yahoo.uk.com Is this not strange ?
Best wishes
DaveI suspect that the BT browser is just a "branded" version of IE. You're better off using >Firefox<, to be honest, because IE is rather unsafe and insecure.
But to answer your QUESTION, IE (either real or branded) can be SET to ANY home page. On the menu, see Tools-->Internet Options.The BT browser is in fact Internet Explorer in disguise. To be honest, I would dump it. Firefox and Mozilla etc cannot be used in certain circumstances!Hi Backdated,
I do dump it and would GO on line using Internet Explorer alone which I have given the page I want to open at BUT I like to know when and whan not I am connected to the internet. If I click the Bt Broadband icon and go to the page I don't want I get an icon at the bottom right of the desktop which I can right click and tell it to exit the internet. If I could get an icon at that place whilst just using Internet Explorer allowing me to right click to exit the internet I would be happy. Can you help on that one ? Hi Backdated,
I have anorther problem with Bt Broadband now. Even when I am logged off and just have Internet Explorer with my home page ok, when I click on an Email notification of a reply at this forum it opens the bloody Bt Browser calling it my home page browser (which it is not) with the answer. Get me out of that one PLEASE.
Best wishes
