Comcast Home Page

How do I make Comcast.net my permanent Home Page?
I've used 'help' and it tells me to click the 'Home Dropdown Menu' .
Where can I find 'Home' so that I can click its Download Menu???
One source told me it was in the bottom left cornor of the Comcast.net Start Page, but I can't find that either.
Is it me or is it Comcast?

Re: Comcast Home Page

The images are unimportant in this instance, being mostly a "-" indicating topic expansion. Even so their absence is disconcerting.
 
To see this IE7 Help text in its complete manifestation, click the "?" icon in the upper right corner of the first page of Internet Options
where the button in the Home Page section that reads "Use Current" lives.

Re: Comcast Home Page

I have comcast.net set as my home page.  In the box that all the "items of interest" are listed at the top left corner of the screen, the last item in the box is cut off.  I can see the top half of the line but not the entire line.  How do I resize that box to view all items listed?
