Google apps start page

Dunno...
This morning my Google start page was replaced by a "Google apps" page. Is there any way to remove this page?
Preferences / home page / make sure it says: www.google.com/

Thank you, I'll try that.
I cannot find "preferences".
Which browser are you using? IE, FireFox, Chrome?

I did, what next? The apps page remains.
Same settings page, check Start Up, open a specific page or set of pages should be checked. Click on Set Pages and make sure it says: http://www.google.com/

Done, now it shows a search I ran looking for help "OOPS, Google Chrome cannot be found". I'll try it again before I go to bed, turn the machine off & reboot. Thank you for taking your time Ringel05, I appreciate it.

Not sure what's going on there. You might need to uninstall and re-install Chrome, something, a file, might have been corrupted or a recent update changed a setting.
If you decide to re-install, when you do the uninstall, select keep user defined settings (or something similar) and you wont lose your favorites.

They have updated Chrome over the last few days, drastically changing the settings area.
Press wrench (top right corner), then go to "Setttings"
Then "On start-up"
Make sure it is "open to a specific page or set of pages" and that is set to Google
Then "Appearance"
"New tab page" press "Change" and set the second option to Google (or whatever you want).

That's what I told her and it didn't seem to work.

no, all that to change the start up page and the "home page" of each new tab.
It is far easier than Firefox...

Weird... works fine here.
Resistence is futile, Google knows what is best for you.
The drastic changes to Youtube in the last year and a half shows us Google thinks it knows what is best for you.
