re: How to remove "about:blank"! Wednesday, June 29, 2005 at 4:20 pm Windows 95 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by nathan (1 messages posted) I would'nt recommend Audrey advice about typing REGSVR32 SOFTPUB.DLL in the run on the start menu. I tried and i wasnt even able to connect to the internet after i restarted...Luckily i used my other computer to get advice on getting back connected and found www.duxcw.com/faq/win/xp/secure.. i followed their steps and fixed it instantly...what it did was it wouldnt let me connect to trusted sites(m.s.n. ,yahoo, etc.) On Monday, May 3, 2004 at 3:28 pm, Audrey wrote: >MSN provided these instructions to remove the "about:blank" homepage: > >NOTE: These instructions are for the following specs: >-OS: WIN 98. >-MSN version: MSN 9. > >Instructions to remove "about:blank": >Click START. >Click RUN. >In the box, type in "REGSVR32 SOFTPUB.DLL" exactly as shown here. >Click OK. >Restart your computer. >You can now re-set your own homepage! > >It worked perfectly for me! > >Good luck!
