Make your Internet experience enjoyable and easy. Configure your Internet Explorer browser to connect to the Internet, and get surfing.
| CONFIGURE YOUR HOMEPAGE |
 |
 |
If you have a favourite website, you can configure Internet Explorer to open with this website as your default homepage.
To configure the default homepage, just click on Tools along the top of Internet Explorer, and then click on Internet Options (or View then Internet Options for Internet Explorer 3 and 4).
If you are currently viewing your favourite website, just click on Use Current to automatically add the website address into the Address field. Alternatively, you can simply type in the website address of your choice e.g. www.orcon.net.au (you do not need to add http://).
If you do not wish to have any web-page come up when opening Internet Explorer, just click on the Use Blank button. This will insert about:blank in the Address field.
Note: Using this option will prevent the dial-up connection prompt box from coming up automatically. You will either need to dial into the Internet first, or type in a website address in order to get Windows to prompt you to connect.
