How to change browser homepage in Windows 8?

I bought a Toshiba Satellite with Windows 8. I went into control panel and set msn.com as the home page.
However when I go to the internet I am taken to http://t.toshiba13.us.msn.com/ instead.
How do I change this?? I want to go to msn.com not some Toshiba version of msn.

Hi,
It works fine for me. I set it to http://msn.com and clicked Apply.

  • How to change the icon for 'windows group' in Java 1.6 [Windows XP] ?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if there is a possibility to change the icon for 'windows group' in Java 1.6...
    I'm using Windows XP SP2. Now the windows from my Java 1.6 application are grouped with the standard Sun icon [screen below] on the group.
    http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/8995/iconbl1.png
    I would like to change the icon for my own. Is there a way to do that ?
    Please help.

    Whichever icon I use for the main frame (I tried few), after grouping the main frame and other sub-frames the icon is changed to standard 'Java Sun' icon as you can see in the screenshot from my first post. The problem occurs only when frames are grouped, when the are separated in the task bar their titles and icons are ok...
    So how can I change the icon/title for the group only (for Java 1.6 in Windows XP) ?

  • Satellite Pro C660-1JL - How to change the language of Windows 7?

    Hello,
    I bought Toshiba with preinstalled official Windows 7 Professional 64 service pack 1. And would like to change language from German to Russian.
    According to instructions from microsoft home page I could not get the result. MUI pack is not shown when searching for Windows up-dates (some other up-dates are only available, but not language pack)...
    What would you recommend how to solve this problem ?
    Its Satellite Pro C660-1JL

    Hey,
    > I bought Toshiba with preinstalled official Windows 7 Professional 64 service pack 1
    You cant change the language on Windows 7 Professional, this is only possible on Windows 7 Enterprise (volume license) and Windows 7 Ultimate.
    So if you want another language, buy Windows 7 Ultimate or be happy with current language of Windows 7 Professional. ;)

  • How to change Virtual Memory in Windows 7 with SSD and 16GB RAM

    I have SSD Samsung 850Pro with OS Windows 7 and have installed physical RAM 16GB.
    In Adobe Help/Optimize performance/Photoshop written :
    " To change Virtual Memory in Windows 7 and Vista, quit all applications and then do the following:
    Choose Start > Control Panel, and double-click System.
    Choose Advanced System Settings in the Tasks list.
    Select the Advanced tab and click Settings in the Performance section.
    Select the Advanced tab and click Change.
    Deselect Automatically Manage Paging File Size For All Drives.
    Click each hard disk letter to show the available space on that drive. Select a hard drive that has three times the amount of your computer’s installed RAM and doesn’t contain a scratch disk.
      Select Custom Size, and type the amount of your physical RAM plus 300 MB in the Initial Size box. Type three times the amount of your computer’s installed RAM into the Maximum Size box. 
    Click Set, and then click OK. Continue to click OK to exit all dialog boxes.
    Restart the computer: If you have applications open, select Restart Later, close your applications, then restart Windows. Otherwise, click Restart Now. "
    Select Custom Size, and type the amount of your physical RAM plus 300 MB in the Initial Size box. Type three times the amount of your computer’s installed RAM into the Maximum Size box.
    I have 16GB RAM
    in the Initial Size box : 16384+300=16684MB
    in the Maximum Size box:16684x3=50052MB
    but in the description of SSD written :
    " In order to address any potential lack of memory capacity, the Windows operating system automatically generates a block of virtual memory (pagefile.sys) on the C: drive.  For example, a Windows® 7 64-bit system with 4 GB of physical memory would generate 4 GB of virtual memory at boot time.
    In the past, before PC Memory (DRAM Modules) were available in high volume, PCs needed to utilize some HDD space to address any memory shortcomings. Today, with PCs featuring 4 GB of memory or more, it is possible to reduce or even eliminate the use of virtual memory.  Additionally, using expanded physical memory, rather than creating virtual memory on the SSD, has performance and reliability advantages for the entire system.  Some applications may require the use of virtual memory. In this case, please consider your specific application requirements before disabling this feature!!! ”..."SET virtual memory in the Initial Size Box :200MB and in the Maximum Size box: 2048MB"
    what is the right choice ???
    Please Help

    Windows set to default virtual memory : 16348 MB =16GB !
    But SSD program Samsung Magician wants virtual memory between in the Initial Size Box :200MB and in the Maximum Size box: 2048MB or 4096MB. If more than 8GB suggests that SSD will work slowly.
    Perhaps the description in Adobe execution Help / Optimize / Photoshop is not correct or ?

  • How to change browser tab text?

    When I open (view) my WebHelp project, the title is not
    correct. It is using an "old" title from a previous project that
    this one was created from. I changed the title on the Properties
    dialog box in the actual RoboHelp project, under Project Settings
    --> New Window --> Window Caption to the correct new text --
    but this does not seem to affect the WebHelp browser tab title.
    (yes, I saved the project, regenerated web help, even tried
    shutting down RH then regenerating WebHelp again -- no effect).
    I did not see a tab title option in the various property
    choices offered during WebHelp generation. Where is it getting this
    tab title from, and how can I change it?

    Try Project Settings.

  • How to change the number of "windows recently closed" that appear in "Historic" menu?

    The maximum number of "windows recently closed" i can have available in my "Historic" menu are 3. How can i change the options it to get more than that?

    Note that Firefox always seems to remember at least one closed wind even if you've set the above mentioned browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo pref to 0. That can be a problem with pop-up windows that won't allow to open additional tabs or close existing tabs without closing the window.

    How to cahnge all fon'ts in windows 8.1 to Tahoma 8 for example?

    This is supposed to be a better program than Win 8.
    Did someone from Microsoft Marketing tell you that?  Maybe a fanboy?  :)
    In all seriousness it's not better in any obvious way than Win 8, nor is it really any better than Win 7.  It can be tweaked to be just about as good.  And to be fair, it's stable.
    I mean yes, we all expected Win 8.1 to be better than its predecessors
    - software releases are supposed to give you some value, some good reason to upgrade - but that kind of goes away when the software maker feels they have a captive audience as Microsoft does, and especially when they still have plenty of businesses
    buying Win 7, which pays their bills.
    But like it or not, removed choices or not, apparently Windows 8 is here to stay.  Joshua up above says "You fail", but have they really?  Once you're patching it up to make it usable they've already got your license fee, and your
    alternatives to running Windows are what, exactly?

  • How to change the homepage for a new tab when the home page of the initial tab and subsesequently opened tab are different?

    When iam using firefox i selected google as my home page. But while opening another tab in the same window(ctrl+T), I am getting babylon search as home page for it. How can i get rid of this problem?

    '''''"...while opening another tab in the same window(ctrl+T), I am getting babylon search as home page for it."""
    Any search toolbar and changes to search engines can take place by downloading and installing software; usually "free" software from the internet. Babylon can be downloaded and installed by itself or as a "ride-along" when installing/updating some software from the internet. Always look for an opportunity during the installation to un-check boxes that will install "ride-along" items that you do not want. Firefox installation does not include such "ride-along" items.

  • How to change domain name on Windows 2003 running Exchange 2007

    Hi all,
    I have a windows 2003 server running Exchange 2007.  I am wanting to rename the domain, however when I search the web for the process to perform a rename of the domain I see "The domain rename operation is not supported in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007". 
    How can a domain name be changed?  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc781575%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
    The server runs active directory, dns, dhcp, and Exchange 2007.
    This change is being inspired by the change with SSL certs where internal addresses like .local will no longer be supported in the third party certificate registrars.  Recently we renewed our cert and did not include the .local URL.  Now the internal
    systems are getting warnings about the cert.   I tried generating an internal self signed cert but it seems only one cert can be valid with exchange 2007 running on windows 2003.  Thus the internal cert replaced the external cert and allowed
    the internal systems to run without complaining about the cert but the external access was causing warnings.  I reversed back to the third party cert.  This cert has company.com and mail.company.com and autodiscovery.  I believe if I rename
    the server to server2.company.com the autodiscovery will allow the server2 to be mapped to company.com and the cert will be valid for internal clients.
    Do I have this correct?  Are there errors with what I have found so far?
    Any suggestions about how to solve this issue short of getting a new server? How can I rename the domain?

    Hi,
    As you mentioned, the domain rename is not supported in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.
    About your question with certificate, we can change URLs to xxx.domain.com. More details about this workaround, please refer to:
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/940726?wa=wsignin1.0
    Note: please make sure the same name with certificate.
    Additional, Microsoft do not recommended to install Exchange server on a DC. I suggest install Exchange server on a member server. More details to see:
    Installing Exchange on a domain controller is not recommended

  • How to change browser title in firefox?

    In IE8 do so:
    in webutiljpi.htm add lines
    <HEAD>
    <script language="javascript1.2" type="text/javascript1.2">
    function ChangeTitle (a) (
    document.title = a;
    </ Script>
    <TITLE>% A% </ TITLE>
    </ HEAD>
    then in the library doing a procedure where a call to
    web.show_document ('javascript: ChangeTitle ('||'"'|| klass.gv_system_name | |
    '- [Izvēlne] - [' | | get_application_property (USERNAME )||'] - ['| |
    substr (v_conn, instr (v_conn, -1,1) +1 )||']'||'"'||')','_ self ').
    In IE8 works, but Firefox does not. Help Please.

    I believe changing the proxy for firefox is the same on a mac as with window. You can go to the network settings and change it from there, and I believe firefox will ask to use the settings, otherwise you can go to Settings>Options>Advanced>Network and then on the top will be place that says configure how firefox connects to the internet. Hit that settings button and you can then configure it all. At the bottom of there, there is a button that says "Do not prompt for authentication if the password is saved". I would clear that box because that is probably why her authentication isn't working. Once she has put in new authentication, it should ask if you want to update it. Thats when you can go back there and check the button to not prompt for authentication if the password is saved.
    Just in case this was way to long, or didn't make sense, I have a couple screenshots. These were taken on my windows computer, not my mac but it will be the same thing.

  • How to change browser.startup.page from about:blank to about:newtab?

    I'd like my browser.startup.page to display about:newtab instead of about:blank, while keeping Google as my browser.startup.homepage.
    I'm not sure how to do it, since browser.startup.page allows only predefined int values (0 - blank, 1 - homepage, 3 - previous session) - where can I edit/add them?
    Or is there another way to get the result I want?

    Use the -new-tab switch instead.
