IE homepage setting grayed out

[kareem]

My friend is unable to change the homepage setting in his Explorer 6 browser. The homepage was originally set to google before it suddenly changed to "dopdolu.net" and it's grayed out.

He has gone into the registry and made what he thought was the necessary changes but it didn't seem to work. He also ran Adaware and Spybot Search & Destroy. Still, no affect.

Does anyone know of any other suggestions?

He's using Windows 2K.
