Thanks. That seemed to take care of it. However is there any way I can
open all my homepage tabs at the same time when I start IE7? I notice
all the home pages are grayed out now in the IE7 tools, internet
options, general dialog window.

This happens if the Home Page setting is locked down by a Policy:

Look for the "HomePage" in these keys, and delete the value if found.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel

Ramesh,
That removed the "grayed out" which is great however how do I
now get all homepages to load at the same time? I now get my first
homepage loaded on the list but have to click on the homepage icon in
order to get all of my homepages to load at the same time. By the way
I really appreciate your help!

Hi JPC,

Yes, I did that. The problem is when IE7 opens, it opens with just one
home page (foxnews) and I have to click on the homepage icon to open
all my homepage tabs. I would like to set it up so when I open IE7 all
my homepage tabs open by default. How do I accomplish this?

Ramesh,
I got it! I stumbled my way through the settings in the tools
dialog window and got all the homepages to open at once.
Thank you for all your help.

So don't keep us in suspense. Can you elaborate?

Tools, internet options, general, tabs, settings, uncheck open only
