Not sure if this is a bug report or not. When ever I use the "Reset IE" function and I tell it to remove all personal settings the Homepage is reset to http://www.google.com/ig?brand=TSNA&bmod=TSNA Next time I go to load the IE browser I get a 404 server not available.
If I go into the Internet options and change the home page it http://www.google.com by removing everything after the .com it works fine.

Re: IE reset
Hi Fred. It's not a bug.
IE's start page is loaded from the "Start page" value of the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" registry key.
When you reset browser settings, that value is deleted, and IE loads the home page from the same named value in the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" key. That's the default IE's start page for all users. In your case, the default home page must have been changed by a custom OEM windows setup
You can create a third party app called "Reset IE's default start page", that runs the following command:
Set the app to run the command hidden, so the cmd console is not shown. That should take care of your issue.
