How to Change the Default Start Page for Vista Internet Explorer No Add-ons
Information
  When you start Internet Explorer in the No Add-ons mode, it loads the default about:NoAdd-ons start page instead of the Home page that you had set for Internet Explorer. This will show you how to change the default start page for Internet Explorer No Add-ons to what you want it to be instead.
Tip
  To open Internet Explorer in No Add-ons mode, open the Start Menu and click on All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).
