I have no idea how ask.com took over as the start page on my internet explorer start-up, but I hate it! It is not anything I want or need. I'm sure it has its place for some, but not for me and my applications. I removed it via Control Panel, but it will not go away each time I open Explorer. I want it removed now!

I can call it up anytime I need it to ask a question if I want, but it is just an annoyance to have to go around to check things I have set up on Explorer Home Page.

Thank you for cleaning this up.

DIRECTIONS is Dial Directions' free nationwide phone service for "directions assistance", launched a few months back. Your destination can be an address - or a business chain, like "On the Border" or "Starbucks" (or even "gas station"). If you ask for a business chain, you then give your starting location, and we send directions to the location closest to you. Hope this helps. P.S. Dial Directions also allows event organizers to self-publish their event as a destination in DIRECTIONS. Just go to our website (www.dialdirections.com), click on Post an Event, and enter your event name and address. After that, anyone can just call DIRECTIONS and ask for "Ricky's New Year's Party".
