"Start page" vs "Home page"

[ziloo]

Hello Comrades,

How can I change my default "Start page" to be my "Home page"
on my IE7   .  Whenever I start up the Explorer, it goes to the
Default microsoft site    !!! So... is there any way to change that?

Thank you for your help

     Have You ever let it finish loading? The freshly installed IE7 has to download Thee page once, and then You can adjust Your start page to any You want.

Yes I have set the home page, but there is no option for
start page.

Yes, it has downloaded that page but somehow it keeps going
to that same page again and again. 

I am going to redo your suggestions....may be I have neglected
somethings.

Thank you

     Another reason could be that some anti-malware/spyware program (If You're using any) has locked Your start page to prevent malicious actions from the Net.
