When I open IE8 my home page of "yahoo mail" is automatically opened without signing in. How can I disable?

I want to always have to sign in with my yahoo ID and password, not to be signed in automatically upon opening IE8. Thanks. Dave|||You have to manually sign off on your Yahoo account. Also, Yahoo automatically signs off your account if you don't do anything on it after 2 weeks.





If you don't sign off your Yahoo account before closing your web browser, it will stay signed on.|||You can change your "home page."


Not sure if IE8 has changed, but IE7, is this:


Click on 'tools,' click on 'Internet options,'


under the 'general' tab, you can change your home page by clicking on the 'default' button, the 'Blank' button, or the 'current' button.


I believe the default button gives you a Microsoft site, blank keeps your opening form blank, and the current will give you the web page of where you are when you make this change.


Hope this helps|||Disable the AutoComplete feature to prevent Internet Explorer 8 from remembering your Yahoo! ID and password. Go to Tools %26gt; Internet Options. Under the Content tab, click AutoComplete Settings and another window will pop open. You can either uncheck the box titled 'User names and passwords' or 'Delete AutoComplete History' and then check the box marked 'Ask me before saving passwords' so you can determine which user names and passwords are remembered by Internet Explorer as you enter them.





I hope this solves your problem!
