Then why does Internet Explorer refer to it as Home Page? ;-)
Internet Properties | General tab | Home Page
[[Displays the Internet address for the page that is currently set as your
home (start) page.
The home page is the page you see each time you start Internet Explorer. You
can return to the home page at any time by clicking the Home button on the
toolbar.]]
[[Your home page is the page that appears every time you open Internet
Explorer. ]]
