Have you downloaded something like messenger or the toolbar after you reset the home page? Because those things often reset it. Try going again to Tools>Internet Options>and erase www.yahoo.com from the home page box and type in whatever you want.

if you have xp, you already have internet explorer, it is a part of it, you can't get rid of it. it is just probably that you have mozilla as the default browser. find the shortcut to internet explorer on your start menu, open it, and reset the settings to default, it will ask you to make it the default browser, just say yes

What you need to do to permanently get rid of it from your computer is click "Start."  Click "Control Panel."  Then click "Add and Remove Programs."  Look for "Yahoo! Toolbar" (it's usually close to or at the end).  Click on it, and then click on "Change/Remove Program."  Once you do, close Internet Explorer (if it isn't already open) and go through the uninstallation wizard.

Yahoo is not a browser, it is a Web site. Are you using Internet Explorer or Mozilla FireFox? It is easy to set Yahoo! as your homepage. Just go into the internet options and type in Yahoo.com
