Did you already try your Tools/Internet Options/General tab in IE's menu? There is an option there to "Use Blank" for a start page.

If that doesn't work (although, it should), type in "about:blank"

for the Startup Page.

Maybe I need to escalate my question more clearly. When I browse some web site, these web site can always change my setting of IE's start page from blank to its URL. How could prevent these web site from updating my start page setting?

what is the ver. of your IE?
if it is the latest try to uninstall it first, and then make a new installation.
If it is not the latest try to upgrad it.

Good Luck

Give this a try:
open regedit and look for "Default_Page_URL" key.
(in win2k it's under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Main/"
Rename the key to something like "Default_Page_URL_new" this should prevent pages from changing it.
If this doesn't work let me know what URL does it on you, so i can test it out.
Thanks, Victor
