<p>Here's an interesting problem. On a recently installed Server 2008 64bit I opened IE and through the Tools -> Options I changed the homepage to iGoogle.com. Clicked okay and then clicked the homepage button. IE crashes.</p>

<p>Now you'd think that I could just remove iGoogle as the homepage but when I open IE it immediately goes to that page and crashes on open.</p>

<p>Obviously I'd prefer to find a solution to why IE is crashing on the iGoogle page but just to get IE running again I need to remove iGoogle as the homepage. Is there anyway to do this without opening IE?</p>
