[QUOTE="Scaflown, post: 438058, member: 43048"] For the love of God, IT WORKED!! IT ACTUALLY WORKED!! After running Zoek, I opened both IE and Chrome browsers and they still showed the annoying Yahoo homepage. Then I changed the settings in both browsers to my desired homepage, and restarted. I couldn't believe it, my changes weren't overwritten anymore!!! I am truly grateful for that TwinHeadedEagle, thank you SO, SO, SO MUCH! Would you mind explaining a little bit how you exactly knew what to do, so that I can do it should the problem appear again?
