Hi John, After opening Internet Explorer and then Tools, followed by Internet Options Jaws should speak quite a bit, and there should be an address , this is your home page address, and it is an edit field. Setting your home page, is not necessarily the same as setting your search provider. Just for clarification, your search provider, uses a search engine,, they are not one in the same. If you set Google as your default home page, then when you open Internet Explorer that is the page you will be on ready to perform a Google search. HTH, Rick Justice
