Janet, there are a couple of things you can do to speed up the return to the HOME page. The easiest way is to press ALT-HOME (the HOME key is on your keyboard on the right). Another way is to click on the IE icon showing in your taskbar at the bottom of the screen. I will reveal a menu showing all the current open screens - select your HOME page. The other and more secure way is to use OPERA. Opera "tabs" all open pages across the top of your screen so it's just a simple matter of selecting the HOME one: www.opera.com Opera is a far more secure browser than IE and is faster in its approach to searching.

When I am ready to "back-out" of the Program. Do you do the following? 1. Hit the "back arrow" in the left corner, and continue to back out and return to your home page. OR 2. Just hit the "Home Page" button at the top of your screen, i.e.: MSN, etc. Sometime I am so far into searching, it takes me quiet a while to back out and go back to my home page.
