Use the Internet Explorer Home Page

Microsoft made a customized Home Page for Internet Explorer on Windows Mobile devices that featured a search bar and a drop-down list for Favorites and History. Some of the newer devices come set up with a default carrier version of the Home Page which may not be as useful as Microsoft’s. If you want to set up your device to use Microsoft’s Home Page, do the following (for touch screen devices):

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. In the address bar, enter “file://\windows\default_0409.htm”
3. Go to Menu >Tools >Options and then tap Use Current under “Home page.”

For non-touch devices:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Go to Menu >Tools >Options >Home Page.
3. Select Use Custom and then enter the URL mentioned above in the field below.

Microsoft’s customized Home Page for Internet Explorer is simple and convenient.
