WEll, after reading the MS KB article on editing the registry, I realized I could save a copy of the registry branch in question from a user who could change their homepage. I could then switch to the user who had the problem and merge the saved branch into that users registry. I just had to save the branch in a place where the user with the problem could find it. Voila! Problem gone.

Yes she can. Btw, both users were on the same machine. I imagine one could do this between machines but I'd be hesitant to try that. She is also now well versed in using Adaware and Spybot Search and Destroy.

Thanks for your input nad have a nice weekend!
