While OTL is primarily a diagnostic tool, it has advanced removal abilities. If you don't understand the instructions in this guide, please seek assistance from an expert listed in one of the forums below. Use special caution when creating any scripts. Improper use can result in data loss, or an unbootable system.
If you have tried the IE / tools /Internet options to set it to something else and you have failed, you need to go to the WTT Malware forum were the experts there can help you. I would refrain from using OTL unless instructed to do so!
You're absolutely correct about the inappropriate use of OTL. I specifically didn't pose this question in the Malware forum because of how busy they are. I could just remove the URL's via I.E's 'Internet Options' but would prefer a more permanent solution.

if that's not a permanent solution and it keeps changing back then i'd follow lee's advice and visit the malware forum because i'd suspect you have some malware making the change.
It is not meant to be permanent, though it should not change until you tell it too. And note there has to be something there for a home page, even if it is just blank. That's why there is no option for no home page, only Current, Default, and Blank.
I didn't know that you had to have something there for a Homepage. Every time restarted I.e after clearing the url's they would come back, so I have set it to Blank.
Problem solved! Thanks again Digerati & to everyone else for their suggestions.

I guess it is something like opening a book. There can be blank page, but there can't be nothing.
Personally, my home page is www.google.com. Then, whenever I open a new IE session, or a new Tab, I am ready to search.
If you ever get sick of that ridiculous drop-down suggestion box, that regardless of how often you turn it off it just keeps coming back, try this google one without it!
