Use the following, which is what Spybot does to lock it and see if there is a 1 and 
change it to 0.

Backup the registry and/or export the following keys: 
go to Start>Run, type regedit. Navigate to: 
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ 
Right-click on the Internet Explorer key, choose new>Key, name it Control Panel. 
Right-click on the Control Panel, chose new>DWORD value, name it Homepage. Right-click 
on Homepage, choose modify and type in the number 1. 

This should lock your home page, so no other web site can change it.
