This happens if the Home Page setting is locked down by a Policy:

Look for the "HomePage" in these keys, and delete the value if found.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Control Panel

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Int ernet Explorer\Control Panel

Thanks. That seemed to take care of it. However is there any way I can
open all my homepage tabs at the same time when I start IE7? I notice
all the home pages are grayed out now in the IE7 tools, internet
options, general dialog window.
