New IE 10 always wants to open "Meet your new Browser? How can I stop it?

On a Win 7 64 bit PC I just installed IE 10. Now every time I open IE it opens msn.com AND "Meet your new Browser" in two windows. Checking Internet Options, home page ONLY lists msn.
How can I stop "Meet your new Browser"?

For those who DON'T have Prevent performance of First Run Customize Settings in Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc), here's another method to disable the "Meet your new browser" website.
If you Group Policy Editor open then just close it, also close Internet Explorer if you have it open and go to
Start and where it says "Search Programs and Files" type regedit and hit enter. Registry Editor should open up and from there navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main.
NOTE: Some of you might not find Internet Explorer and/or Main folder at all, if you don't find one, then create one by right clicking on Microsoft
go to New, click on Key, Name the folder
Internet Explorer then right click on Internet Explorer
go to New, click on Key Name the folder
Main.
Now on the right side of Registry Editor right click,
go to New, click on DWORD (32-bit) Value and Name it
DisableFirstRunCustomize and then click on it again and set
Value Data to 1 and click
ok and close Registry Editor.
Unfortunately, as usual, this does nothing to solve the problem. Do you suggest switching to Linux or a Mac?

By opnening a new tab, how can I stop Babylon search opening

I am a fervent Firefox user and using the new Firefox 4.0 with great pleasure. However in this new version every time I open a new tab, it opens with Babylon search. How can I stop this. I want to open it standard with Google search.
Best regards.
Wim van den Hil

Go to the "Tools" menu and select "Add-ons". It will open a popup. Click in the "Extensions" tab. Look for the "Babylon Search" extension. Click the "Uninstall" button. Then close and reload Firefox.

First i open google search page.after seeing the results if i click in any site the site appears in a new tab.how can i stop this?

these days i face this problem.whenever i click on a site it appears in a new tab.how can i stop it?

The Google Search setting has an option '''Where results open'''. If it is selected, you can try deselecting that. If it doesn't solve the problem, please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u '''Use hardware acceleration when available''']. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

It appears from many other posts that the " Keep This iPod in the Source List" function isn't included in iTunes 7 unfortunately. You can leave your feedback on it's absence at this link: Apple Product Feedback
You can check out a workaround at this link which may help out for now: Create ready-to-sync playlists for Shuffles in iTunes 7

PGP engine wants to make changes every 5 minutes - how can i stop it?

I get pop up messages saying pgp engine wants to make changes every 5 minutes - how can i stop it?

The best way would be to uninstall PGP and use FileVault instead. If you can't do that, refer to Symantec for support, and good luck with that.

You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

When I load firefox it opens my home page then a new tab. how can I stop the new tab

I just need firefox to open my homepage, not open a new tab

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Outdated all-day calendar event notifications coming up daily on my new Z10 -how can I stop them? HELP!

When I got my new z10, I used the Blackberry Desktop to transfer things like calendar entries, tasks, and memos from my old BB Bold to the new phone. The memos transferred fine, although it took me awhile to locate them in the "remember" folder. Many of the calendar entries transferred correctly I think, although I also use Outlook and have that sync with the Z10 calender so it's hard to tell. But I have numerous calendar entries from 2010, 2011, 2012 that repeatedly show up as notifications every day, and when I click to edit them, the screen just flashes and goes to the next old entry -I have to go through about 30 of them every day. At the end, I've had a few that will let me edit them -they seem to be old entries that had recurrences. The ones that won't go away are "all day" single entries. The calendar only shows the last 90 days and the future 90 days (which I hate -I'd love to be able to see the last two years like I used to), so I can't edit calendar entries from two years ago directly on the phone. Any help would be appreciated!!

HT204053 kids are getting the parents imessages via their ipod touches - we don't want our kids getting our messages.. how can we stop this?

All devices are using updated software and here's the issue:
Mom & Dad each have an ipod 3gs. Two teen kids each have an ipod touch 4. All 4 devices use the same Apple ID, share free and purchased apps. The kids are receiving Mom and Dad's text messages & messages between our texting contacts.
Question: 1. How can we avoid the kids receiving messages displayed on our phones to their touches (we are aware of iMessage on/off but we know the kids are able to turn this feature on and off on their touches without the need for a password.
Question: 2. If we set up separate Apple ID's for each Ipod device, can we all still share current purchased Apps & continue to share purchased Apps? Apple allows up to 5 devices share Apps.
Help is appreciated before we choose to not upgrade the older 3gs phones to the latest iphone and get Samsungs.
Thank you.

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

I'm getting redirected when I search and want to go to a site. How can i stop this?

I have done a system restore. Removed Mozilla and downloaded it again.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Every time I open up Firefox, it opens up my previous session, how do I stop this?

Just recently, every time we open up a new Firefox window, the previous session will show up. I do not want the old session to appear. How can I stop this? I have checked my options and it is set to my homepage but still the previous session always appears.

You probably already have checked the Options dialog to make sure Firefox is still set to start up with your home page. In case you haven't, this article has the steps:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
Sometimes and add-on or external program will create a user.js file in your Firefox settings (profile) folder, and Firefox will use this file to override your previous session settings. To track down and remove a user.js file, please see the steps in this article: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Note: By default, Windows 7 hides the .js file extension. To unhide it, so you can work with file names as accurately as possible, please see this Microsoft support article: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions
Any luck?
