I have had MSN as my homepage for years and they have suddenly changed. I had personalized the page to create (pin)sites like news so that I could tap on CBS, NBS and others and it would take me directly to the site. I did that also to bank accounts , work accounts etc, all on one page under categories. Turn on the computer the home page came up and tap the site you want and there you are. Now MSN's site changed and all that preset disappears. It seems that they are now going to a tile format like Windows 8 which I have not adapted to very well.

Any suggestions to a Homepage similar to what I described?

Thanks in advance.

You can use excel or word to make a page of links that you store on your PC. Then you have you trouser load the page when you start the trouser.

I like that!!! Really simple and you can actually make that your home page.

I set up several links and filed the page as a webpage and put:

file:///c:/$billdoc/zcaveman.htm

as the homepage in the Internet Options and now I have my links.

This is good to know. I will file it for later.

trouser? trouser?
Wait, let me put on my browser and walk Bowser before I reset my trouser.
Your mileage may vary.

I use Symbaloo
It takes a bit to get used to ... but it is fully customizable ..
You can use take someone else's pages ...
or create your own.

I found using Chrome as a browser is best with Symbaloo for memory management.

If using Chrome, you could also use the "Pin Tab function.
