Today one of my kids had too much time on his hands and was playing on the computer. Normally it is not a problem with me but this guy apparently was looking up some rather nasty stuff and must have done something to make the site his home page because it always opens on it. I have gone into the control panel and gone to homepage typed in http://yahoo.com/ and it will open with yahoo. the problem is when the computer is turned off and then back on it is there again.
I know this really doesn't have a lot to dowith the theater but I thought you all have helped me with theater questions before maybe you could help now, and beside the kids future here at the theater is riding on it.
thanks for any help you can give
