Can someone explain this?

still opens to that setting. However, on my limited user account that I use
most of the time, IE has started opening to MSNmember.msn.com. It seems to
start to open msn.com and then gets redirected to this other webpage. I'm
just wondering why this suddenly started happening. Any ideas?

Are you connected via MSN dial-up, Paul?

SP3 owner (admin) account and 1 of my 2 XP LU accounts still go to msn.com
when I use IE7 instead of MSN Explorer. The LU account that I use the most
is the only one that is opening to MSNmember.msn.com. I just think it is
strange that one account would be different from the others. Am I correct in
assuming that MSNmember.msn.com is a legit webpage? In IE properties it
still shows www.msn.com as my only homepage. Of course, MSN Explorer opens
normally to my.msn.com.
Operating System Windows XP (5.01.2600)

not using MSN Dial-up, I can't tell you that it is supposed to happen or not,
but can only suspect that it is. The site is legit, but the big mystery is why
only that limited user account is being sent there. Besides being a limited
user, is that the same MSN sign-on ID as the other Windows sign on? I wonder if
the redirect is login specific on the MSN side.

couple of MSN ID's that I juggle between routinely, and haven't noticed any
difference. The distinction only occurs when I change XP user accounts.
Strange.

Well, I hope that someone else chimes in regarding their experience. I would
expect all XP login accounts to behave the same regarding where my.msn.com or
www.msn.com goes as the home page.

I use it for IE in XP but it was in import settings from '98.
Did not have to be homepage though, just link.
See no reason why some accounts would be different.
I would think the owner of the account might be redirected.
Could be something with their servers, like they recognize their branded
partners.

msnmember.msn.com as the IE homepage by default. So ---I navigated from
msn.com to msnmember.msn.com in IE using my Admin User account, and how the
homepage there is stuck at msnmember.msn.com also, even when I try to set it
back to default. LOL Go figure!
