There are some niggles. If you have the Google toolbar installed, you

Just go to tools - internet options and type in the new URL into the
homepage window.

Thanks, that works, but it seems strange that with IE7 & the Google
toolbar I end up with 2 search boxes (the Google toolbar search box & the
IE7 search box) but I cannot make them use different search engines.

I'm just being lazy really, as I've got all the major search engines in
a folder under favourites.

I have been using it for the last hour or two for the first time since
FireFox 8 or so. The choice of search engines is infinite. If a site
has a search engine you can add it to the box on the top right on the
top toolbar.

Just type TEST (in caps) into the new website's search engine and copy
the URL it goes to. Click that in the drop down that allows you to add
the new search engine.

I think it is a brilliant device and am very happy with IE 7 because I
am stuck with settings in FireFox that I messed up several versions ago
and can not be removed even with an uninstall.

I prefer the idea of FireFox and prefer Opera even more as it has the
stuff I want as standard but again I have no way of returning the
settings to its original default without going into the registry.

Bloody stupid profiles!

Needless to say of course the damn thing will not function fully with
MSN's own communities. What else did I expect with that?
