I have never understood why anyone should want their ISP's website as their homepage. (I just use a blank page). Decide what
you want to see as your home page. (AB, perhaps? Or Google? Or your own website?). Go to that page. Then do this (these instruction are based upon Internet Explorer 6 but they'll be similar in IE7 or other browsers):
Click 'Tools'
Select 'Internet Options'
The panel which opens will probably already have the 'General' tab selected. If it isn't, click on it.
The top of the panel now has the home page settings.
Click 'Use Current'
Click 'Apply'
Click 'OK'
That's your homepage sorted out. Now all you need to do is to set up your TalkTalk e-mail account. Easy. Just follow the instructions, here:
