Default Windows Update has taken over my home page

Since using Windows Update in IE6 it has taken over opening instead of
my home page when starting IE despite my setting of use current page
(my home page) in Options. I'm sure there is a simple solution but it
evades my old brain at the moment.
TIA Bill Parry.

Attempt to set the option "Use Blank" for the Home Page.
If it works, change again to the desired page later.
