I've got all of my browsers to open on a Blank page, and the Home buttons to open my power favorite: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en but that is only my choice, your's probably will differ and should be setup as you wish. > As to iCab, perhaps I did not do the "drag & drop" thing.

My guess is that somehow you've got an Alias of iCab that is not able to find the mounted .img file that is no longer mounted(and needs to run from your HD) on the desktop, so if'n you've still got the downloaded .sit file, double click it to decompress(or drag it to Stuffit Expander and drop on top) and mount it on the desktop, when that is done, double click the image on the desktop(if'n it isn't already open) and dragndrop the included iCab folder file to your HD > Applications > Internet Applications folder and it will be copied there. Then restart your Mac to use it(all the while remembering to bend it to your will), easy. Oh yea, my suggestion for a desktop file rebuild still holds.
