Hi guys - I found a simple way to resolve this issue:
...
Go into Control Panel
add/remove -- Remove an Apple program called Bonjour...
close it:
go to your Tools on your webpage and Change the Internet Webpage default to what you want it to be. It does work...cause I had to do the same....

Better way to resolve the issue with Searchqu 406:
Go to your control Panel - Add/Remove - uninstall Bonjour - its an Apple program:
Now:
Go to your Tools - Internet Options and set the webpage default you want to use.
I used it myself and it definately worked.

Okay...I did what was suggested in going to control panel and uninstalling "bonjour,"...problem: It was not in my control panel list of items. I attempted a search for "bonjour" and no file found. Any other suggestions? Thanks, El Paso, TX.

Msal - I am sorry you cannot find Bonjour on your Add/Remove contents. Maybe you do not have an apple product on your computer. Then just go to tools - webpage default and set what you want. I hope it works for you.
