You need to set it as your homepage.  Go to Tools, then Internet Options.  In the General tab, type in http://www.yahoo.com.

You might have a virus or spyware.  First run any anti virus and anti spyware programs, such as avg free and the yahoo anti spy on the yahoo toolbar which is free to download.  then go to tools on microsoft explorer, clear history, and temporary files (cookies), and make sure your homepage is set to the right place.

Sometimes I get comfortable with old familiar things .. like Yahoo's homepage.  But, eventually, someone wants to spruce things up a bit.  I guess it's time that they did at Yahoo! .. I do prefer the old one, but I'm getting used to the new one as I'm using it.  I suppose we'll all need to since it will be the de facto standard at some point in the future.

You can go ahead and change the home page from the browser. You can also remove the program from loading at start up.

The new Yahoo! Home page design is being rolled out to limited number of users for the purpose of collecting feedback. If your computer receives the privilege to see the new version (appears to be a lottery and only for IE browsers for now), the key to that ability is held in your browser cookies. Delete your cookies and you'll revert back to the original version.

Because one is a Beta version of the new homepage suposedly randomly chosen. To clear the "new" version if you don't like it,..go to tools, internet options and delete cookies and delete files. Close your browser and go to yahoo again.

I don't believe so.  A few years ago, I asked myself the same question.  I tried accessing several sites using the gopher:// protocol to no avail.  At that time, I'd asked several friends of mine who had used it in the past, and like me, they were unaware of it's disappearance; yet not able to access it either.\n\nI did a quick search just now to see if there are any "answers" to this question; and, basically I have come to conclude gopher:// is history (I will post a couple links in the "sources" area).  \n\nThere was one page which discussed bringing gopher back; however the three browsers I currently have loaded on this computer (Firefox, Opera and IE) won't even try to load a gopher:// page.   I may try installing an older browser to see if the community attempting to bring gopher:// back has been successful; however, since most people keep their browsers fairly updated (at least they have mostly been updated within the past 10 years, which is approximately when gopher seems to have disappeared), I doubt seriously they made much headway bringing gopher back to any serious level.

You probably have a spyware on you comp. or you dont have enough rights to do it, like  if you're using it in school, or probalby you have a home page protection software which wont let you change your homepage.

your home page has been taken over or you have some kind of spyware.\n\ni suggest you download the FREE adaware program and run it asap.

You may have set your homepage to a temporary page rather than the My Yahoo root page, or you may need to log back in if your cookies were cleared.

You have to be selected. The page on mine keeps switching back and forth between the new and old one. They choose randomly.
