This could almost be called a hijack, but it is simple to fix.

Go to the page you wish to use as home and set as you home page. You can see your current home page using the icon that looks like a small house next to sheet tabs at top. While in there, if you see another homepage that you do not want, simply delete it.
Click on ''tools'' then '' internet options'' and then choose your favourite home page.
