Homepage?

[Svejk]

I know nothing about computers so I'd appreciate simple jargon free answers, if there are any.
I pressed the wrong button yesterday and 'Ask' seemed to come up as the search engine or home page?, which I don't like.
I've been mecking about all morning. Pressed to restore default and now it's got 'Bing'.
I just want to go back to google as my homepage. But I don't want 'google chrome'. I got that before accidentally and didn't like it.
Thank-you.

Which browser are you using? Firefox? IE?

[ummmm]

Re-set in your browser.

[Svejk]

I don't really know, frog nog. I think it's IE. It's Windows if that helps. Microsoft.

[Svejk]

is that in 'tools' ummmm?

[Svejk]

Theres a big blue 'e' with a yellow line around it. Is that 'IE'?

Yes, that's IE

go to the page you want to make your home page. Somewhere, probably top right, is a little house icon. If you click on it there should be an option to "make this your home page"

Internet Explorer.

Click on the gear cog at top right and select Internet options
On the General tab, enter the following address http://google.co.uk
Further done, where it says Tabsand click ‘Settings’. Find the setting, about halfway down, for when to do when a new tab is opened. From the drop-down menu, select ‘Your first home page’.
Click apply. Done

[FrogNog]

Further Down, where it says Tabs.
Sorry for the appalling typing

[Svejk]

Well done, frog. That was just what I wanted. I'd gone to that page several times, messing about, but I didn't know I had to type anything or click on tabs. Brilliant and thanks to everyone for their answers. ;o)

[FrogNog]

Glad I could help. :)

Morning Frognog, don't know if you're around this morning. Maybe someone else can help if you're not.
As above, followed advice and it worked a treat. However, on a couple of sites I've tried to 'log on to', I can't. (Gravatar & Disqus, as it happens, if it matters)
I wonder is it connected, something to do with cookies, perhaps.
A 'box' with username/password appears but when I click on it doesn't work.
Any brainwaves, anyone?(if you know what I'm on about)
