Answer 9

I hate AOL ... to get Yahoo! as your homepage, just go to Yahoo.com and then in the top browser where the header is for Yahoo! ... you'll see a text link that reads, Make Y! your homepage.  Just click that and you are done.  Yahoo! will then be your homepage.  You may or may not have to restart your computer for it to be activated, but if it is you'll see it when you go to login again when Windows starts to setup.  If that doesn't work do it through your control panel.

1.  Go to Start.

2.  Then to Control Panel.

3.  Then to Internet Options.

4.  Then in the http path in the popup screen, type in http://www.yahoo.com

5.  Then apply and accept these changes or additions.

6.  Then open windows and your Yahoo! homepage should come right up.  (You might have to restart after doing this so that the changes can be reset on your hardrive.)

Let me know if this worked for you so I know that I helped you do it!
