What, convince her to go a long, long way away from London?

Come on Wales!

EDIT : ARGH! Disallowed goal in the last minute of injury time, would have taken Wales to Euro 2016...

I have set it to always show the home button, and under that setting I have set the homepage URL to what I want

tried restarting pc?

Can't do that as I'm in work and it has things open that I need to be monitoring.
Perhaps at the end of this shift tomorrow morning.

Is it a 'work' version of Chrome maybe? Basically a part of your intranet?

Nah, it's a stand-alone install.
I only need it for one contract, so I thought setting the homepage to the URL I need to use would be a simple job.
*sigh*

So I took a deep breath and retraced my steps. When I first visited the hate site, I saved the link because the information I wanted was actually on that site, even though I planned to check every detail since there is no trusting such things. Because there is no “Send > Shortcut to Desktop” in Chrome — a feature of Internet Explorer I have used for years — I drag and drop the [[favicon]] (page icon next to it’s address, usually a blank page with the corner folded) to a place on my desktop for later reading or archiving. Except my mouse was glitching and I couldn’t drag it more than a short distance before involuntarily un-clicking.
How I fixed it

I went to the page I wanted back as my home page and I dragged and dropped the [[favicon]] onto the home button of the toolbar. It worked!

Apparently, Google uses two alternate definitions of “home page”. There’s the page “On Startup” and then the page it takes you to when you click the home icon, for which there apparently is no setting.
