Replace the home page on your Web browser

Listen to this Tip

When you fire up your favorite Web browser, what’s default home page? Is it your favorite site? No? Did you know you could change it? It’s really easy and here’s how: Hit the F1 key for online help and do a search for “home page”, follow the instructions, and from then on you’ll get the home page you want to see every time you start your browser. I’ve seen some people create a simple Web page consisting of links to their favorite sites and then make that their default. You can actually use something like Word to create this file, save it on your hard drive, and then make it your default home page. A business can set the default home page in all the company browsers to show the latest announcements. This little trick will amaze your friends, inspire your coworkers, and change your life forever (well, not exactly but it sure is cool).
