How can I remove it?Hi gunnermac,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base How to set the home pagearticle. Your home page might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc. have been ask to become your homepage.
There are the steps in this article to reset your preferences on the default home page. I would try everything first to clear all strangeness. If it works, you can try to set your homepage again to your personal preferences.
If Yahoo has been set as the default search in the search bar, you should take a look in the Knowledge Base using the search in Firefox bararticle.
If the address bar search has been changed, so you can take a look at Search the Web from the address bar.
If this does not work, you should look the article How to fix preferences that will not save.
Finally, your problem may be because you have been hit by some malware.
Hope this helps!

Hi Kathleen,.
How can I prevent double or invalid entries to be added to my library when I play music files?
When you move digital media files on your computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in your library. Then when you select a file to play to its new location, a new entry is created in your library if you select the option automatically added to your library when played. As a result, your library can quickly contain a large number of entries, duplicate or invalid.
To prevent music files to be automatically added to your library:
1. in Windows Media Player, click the Tools menu, Options.
2. on the Player tab, clear music to add to the library when played check box.Now, when you play music on your computer or the Internet, the file will not be added automatically to your library.
If you have problems, try these methods and check if it helps.
Method 1: Clear database of Windows Media Player cache files.
a. exit Windows Media Player.
b. press the Windows key + R, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.c. Select the Media Player folder, and then delete.
d. restart Windows Media Player.
Method 2: Delete the Windows Media Player database and check.
a. exit Windows Media Player.
b. press the Windows key + R, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
c. Select all files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.
Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
d. restart Windows Media Player.
Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.Please post back with the results and we will be happy to help you further.

How can I remove the menu bar in Windows Explorer?
I have Windows 7 (x 64). In windows Explorer, the menu bar will not go if I press ALT. Also, I went into the menu "Organize" and went to "provision". Display of the menu bar has been disabled. I even checked "View" tab in the folder options and the display of the menu bar option is disabled here also. I tried to restart, but which did not help either. So, what should I do? The menu bar that bothers me a lot. So, ill reinstall windows if I can't find a way to remove it.
So I guess the menu bar also refused to go when you were in safe mode. If so, it narrows at least it down to a Windows problem. If the system is free of any software malicious then the fault lies with Windows being corrupt.
If SFC has reported no problems then only clean boot procedures could narrow things down to the component of Windows 7 that is the cause of the problem.
You may find that the boot is too tedious & skip to what is called an in Place Upgrade or repair installation using your installation DVD. It's better than a reinstall full as it leaves your applications & intact user files.
