I just got a new computer from DELL for work yesterday. I thought I had
everything set up and then I discovered that IE was not maintaining my
default home page. It stays at http://www.dell.com/, I can not seem to
change it. I have run Microsoft's spy ware removing, it only finds that
the home page may be hijacked.

Below are the things I have done, none gave me any results:
Used IE's standard Internet options to change it.
Use Microsoft's spy ware removal tool (I made sure the spy ware removal
tool was set to change the browser home page back to my "real" page.
Manually went through the registry looking for http://www.dell.com/ and
changed it to the page I want.

I am not sure what is going on. My computer has been behind a firewall
since I started configuring. I have only installed fairly standard
applications. My co-workers, who I also helped get set up, are not
having any IE problems. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Below
is my hijack this log.

Thanks,
Jay

Thanks, deleting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main took care of the issue. Thanks

Consider on a new Dell, First - create the Restoration disk set.
Then go through Add/Remove programs and start uninstalling
all the "Value Added" stuff they install. Use MSConfig to trim
back the Startups & Watchdogs. Finally, if the PC came with
either McAfee or Symantec Security software (Full or Trial),
consider other products. Just two days ago, I worked on a
Dell that had McAfee Security (fully updated), after uninstalling
it and putting on eTrust 7 the first full scan found and removed
3 different viruses. Dell is now shipping PCs with a search bar
that many tools clearly categorize as Spyware, so I would setup
the machine with AdAware, Spybot, CW Shredder and the
615 build of MS Antispyware.
