Check in "preferences" or "options", etc, to see if there is a setting to lock your homepage. If you use Spybot or Ad-Aware check there, too. That settings is to prevent spyware from hijacking your homepage; you might need to temporarily unlock it to make a change.
yes using MYIE2. Checked options and i have 'lock my homepage' unchecked. I cant access IE's internet option page IE dropdown menu. It tells me that i am restricted from making changes. Yes I use spybot s&d so going to check there
Used hijackit and this is the thing i believe is causing it:
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present
is there any way to make/change this setting windows via windows option (winxp HE)
That one should definitely go. There probably is no way to do this with a Windows setting - spyware has hijacked your browser.
There are probably other things you need to get rid of, can you post the whole log? Most of these things require cleaning in numerous places or they will keep coming back.

miinkie: you might want to check out this page. Near the bottom is some info on one of the items causing your problems:
FeaturedResults
Open the registry (click 'Start', choose 'Run' and enter 'regedit'), and find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Delete the 'Rundll32_7' entry.
Open a DOS command prompt window (from Start->Programs->Accessories) and enter:
cd "%WinDir%\System"
regsvr32 /u msiefr40.dll
Restart the machine and you should be able to delete the file msiefr40.dll in the System folder (which is inside the Windows folder, and called 'System32' under Windows NT, 2000 and XP).
seems everything is sorted. Thanks guys.
