NeoPanet is a new browser that uses the same engine as Internet Explorer 4 and 5. It will take it most of its settings from there and you can look through the settings for these packages on our Internet Explorer page.
To set the internal NeoPlanet settings click on View and then Control Panel (all settings available here). You should now have a screen similar to the one below.
To change the page that NeoPlanet first logs onto when starting. Click on the Your Home Page.
Simply type the URL (web address) of the site that you want to use as your homepage or if you have the site opened already click on the Use Current Page button.
