Set the browser home page to CPS.NET
If you used a
different Internet service, and are switching to CPS.NET, it is likely
that your web browser is set to open the web page of your old Internet
service. This section explains the process for switching the
default home page address, for both Microsoft Internet Explorer and
Netscape Communicator. There may be some variation in the
process for older copies of Explorer and Navigator.
For Microsoft Internet Explorer:
- In Internet Explorer,
click on <View> and select <Internet> Options
- In the <General>
tab, highlight the text in the Address text box.
- Replace that text with
the following: http://www.cps.net
- Click <OK> and
close Internet Explorer. When you open it back up, it should load
the CPS.NET web page.
For
Netscape Communicator:
- In Netscape
Communicator, click on <Edit> and select <Preferences>
- In the
<Navigator> dialog, highlight the text in the Location text box
- Replace that text with
the following: http://WWW.CPS.NET
- Click <OK> and
close Netscape Communicator. When you open it back up, it should
load the CPS.NET web page.
You may choose a
different location other than CPS.NET to make your default home
page. Find the web address for the page you would like to use for
your home page, and substitute it for CPS.NET in the steps above.
But, be sure to make CPS.NET a Favorite Location (IE) or Bookmark its
address (Netscape) for later!
