    Resolved [RESOLVED] Start Up Screen

    Running Windows 7 Starter and when I fire up the computer from start it always selects my TomTom Home page even though this not the page selected in Start Up or in my Internet Options Tab. Any help?

    Are you talking about starting Windows 7 or your Browser?

    Which browser and what happens when you change the "home page?"
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    When I turn on the computer from scratch it connects automatically to Internet Explorer and then goes to the Tom Tom page.

    Further to my last thread this only happens when computer is fired up from OFF. When it's on I can select Internet Explorer from Desktop and it goes to the selected Home Page, not the Tom Tom one. Hope this helps.

    It sounds like there is a Start Up option to open the TomTom home page.

    Where do I find this and how do I disable it, could be the answer.

    If it is just set to start a browser window with a specific url, then you could probably disable that using msconfig.

    Other options:

    If you can't find the start up item:

    Blob (Start), All Programs, Accessories, Run, enter MsConfig in the Run dialog
    Open field, then click OK.

    Many Thanks, I disabled it in msconfig and it now fires up normally. Thanks again.
