Hi, John is correct. As mentioned in a separate thread, you can use the cmd-option-q which will Quit and Discard Windows, thus allowing you to startup Safari from your Homepage. Alternatively, you can go into your system Preferences, select the General pane and uncheck the box for Recovering Windows. It sometimes doesn't take effect right away, but it will. If you have problems with this, please repost and someone will assist.
