Hi All,

I have recently started facing problems with my IE. I get a default search page whenever I launch the IE. I could not alter the same using the Tools--> Internet options.

I can see that there is something called sp.html which continuosly get generated in C:\Documents and Settings\x_deytam\Local Settings\Temp.

I have tried deleteing cookies and all that stuff but nothing seem to work.

Any help with regards to this will be very much appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Avijay.
