HTTP 403 Forbidden

Running Office Standard 2007 on Vista Home Basic.

Until August 15 I had no trouble reaching IE. It's Version 7, I think, but
the error prevents me from confirming.

Then I installed Vista Service Pack 1 with IIS Diagnostic Toolkit January
2006 (x86). Now when I try to launch IE from my desktop or taskbar I get the
error message "HTTP 403 Forbidden." The explanation is that though the server
could be reached my login was rejected. No reason why is offered. Login for
IE? as of August 15?

My email and Favorites work, and I can Google from any Favorite Web site.
Also I am four users on this computer, and only my default user has this
problem.

I don't find the IIS Diagnostic Toolkit user friendly. Fix, anyone?

Re: HTTP 403 Forbidden

What is your Home Page in Internet Explorer set to?
Try changing it to something else.

It sounds like something changed your Internet Explorer Home page when u made those changes.

In internet explorer, click Tools and goto Internet Options

in homepage, type in www.google.com (or whatever u want)

click apply, then ok

then exit internet explorer, and load it from desktop like normal. Shud now work
