My friend recently was messing around with the registry on a Win 95 + IE 5.5 PC. He deleted some of the keys without exporting it. Later he realised that IE setting for Tools\internet option\Home page is gray out.
I already tried to un & reinstalled back IE but still fail.
TQ all for your suggestion and help.

HOW TO RESTORE YOUR ORIGINAL REGISTRY
Without losing you software or hardware info?
"It could happen"

THIS WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU HAVE A HIDDEN FILE IN YOUR C:\ (root) CALLED "SYSTEM.1ST"
If you think you have deleted this file go to the last two lines of this page.....

Boot to a real mode DOS prompt :
Hold down the "Control Key" while booting the computer.

After the "Boot Menu" starts select :
"Command Prompt Only"

From the Command Prompt :
CD\
REGEDIT/L:SYSTEM.1ST(space)/E(space)MY.REG
This will create a usable copy of your "original registry settings"

To merge these settings into your existing registry:
REGEDIT(space)MY.REG

To reset IE to original state,Open the Control Panel,double-click the Add/Remove Programs menu,select IE then click the Remove,you should get a pop up menu,click to repair or restore to previous version of IE

If this does not work,then download the utility IERadicator from the web and remove IE,then go to web and down load the setup files to reinstall.
