Set a new home page in Internet Explorer

You may already know how to do this, but if you don't you'll thank us,
especially if you happen to get hijacked by one of the many sites out
there that will happily change Internet Explorer's home page if you
click on the wrong thing.

The easiest way to change IE's default page is to go to the web page
you wish to use as your home page and then go to tools\internet options
and under the 'home page' section, click the 'use current' button to
set it. You can also simply type the address of any page you wish to
use into the address bar here.
