Internet Search
When I 'Open Web Search Window' it tries to load FHUG but it has the wrong path in it http://www.fhug.org.uk/cgi-bin/index.cgi so I get an error message (attached). I have bookmarked the correct address http://www.fhug.org.uk, but I can't see the incorrect link to get rid of it.
Can anyone give me directions?

Re: Internet Search
Use the Internet > Search the Internet command and click the More >> button at the bottom.
Then when you select any Bookmark use the Edit button top right to make changes, or the Delete button to remove.
Make sure the Location box contains the web URL required.

Re: Internet Search
I have already tried that, but the only FHUG link is the bookmark I saved, I can't find the 'wrong' one on the list - see attached

Re: Internet Search
It looks like you've set your Home Page to that false address in the internal Browser. At the top RH Side of the actual Browser Home Page (NOT the one in the Tool Bar) you'll see a Gear Wheel Click on that and then Settings then Home Page.

Re: Internet Search
I am feeling really stupid - is this where you mean? if so then FHUG is not my home page in Chrome, it only appears when I go into Internet menu

Re: Internet Search
It is NOT Chrome that FH uses for its internal browser but the Internet Explorer shell.
So assuming that you have somehow changed the IE Home page then:
Open IE and click gear Tools > Internet options and change the Home page to whatever you prefer, https://www.google.co.uk/ perhaps.

Irene,
No, in the Window where you see the error message, if you scroll to the top right-hand side using the arrows you should see a couple of icons including another gear wheel as below.
Hope that's a better guide.

Re: Internet Search
Mervyn, that top bar only applies to the Bing home page and is nothing to do with the IE Home page.
That top bar does not appear in most web pages.

Re: Internet Search
You might Irene, but as I explained, FH does NOT, so you must change the Internet Explorer Home page to fix the problem, as I described.

Re: Internet Search
Hi Mike
I changed the HOME page in IE and all working fine now. It never occurred to me to look in there as I haven't used it for years.
