Google

[Farrnorth]

When I click onto internet explorer I want to see only the Google insignia appear. At the moment I get a lot of extraneous stuff I do not need. I know this is possible because I had it for years. Can someone please tell me how this is achieve.

what sort of "extraneous stuff"? Have you set Google as your home page?

[ojread2]

lol Box, that's exactly what I thought
I'm guessing ads?
But google home page doesn't have any, does it?

Correct - mine just has the Google logo and a text box.

ahhhh, it does in IE though

Farrnorth, you need to go into the settings and delete stuff or hit go back to classic

[ojread2]

'classic home'

Many thanks Boxtops and ojread2. It now works perfectly. This happened when something called '????? ride' took over. How can I stop this happening again

[ojread2]

ooo, errmm, no idea I'm afraid, sorry
Hopefully someone else will though

I would suggest your using Firefox as a default browser and retain IE as a back-up; if you should reqire to use it again.
