    At times you accidently get spyware installed on your computer and it locked your Internet Explorer homepage to somewhere else. Or maybe you will be sharing your computer with any one where they like to modify your homepage setting. You can lock your homepage and make it uneditable. To lock or unlock the homepage, simply follow the steps below:-

    - Click Start => Run type regedit and click OK.

    - Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel

    - Right Click at the empty place of right panel, select New => Dword value

    - Name it HomePage

    - Double click on the HomePage and enter 1 or 0 (1 = lock homepage, 0 = unlock homepage) as the value


    - Next, Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel

    - Right Click at the empty place of right panel, select New => Dword value

    - Name it HomePage

    - Double click on the HomePage and enter 1 or 0 (1 = lock homepage, 0 = unlock homepage) as the value

    Once you complete all the steps mentioned above, close all your Internet Explorer and restart it again. You will see the Home Page will be set according to your setting.

    Hope these steps will help you in your problem. Best of luck with this
