IE 6/7 Home page trouble

I have just bought Mrs P. a brand new shiny Acer laptop for Christmas. In setting it up for her and putting her usual software on it, I needed to change the home page of it's copy of I.E. 6 to her usual one from the default of Acer's own website. Could I do it? No chance! I have tried every trick I know to change the home page but, on closing down and reselecting the program, the Acer website obstinately reappears as the home page. Finally I changed over to I.E. 7 but the said homepage changing was still locked. This gives no trouble at all on I.E. 7 on my own machines (where PPRuNe is my homepage of course) and I know that I can probably cure the problem by switching her machine over to Opera or Firefox, but why should I? There is some tick box somewhere which locks the homepage selection but I just can't find it. Naturally the help facility is useless. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

P.P.
