Yahoo toolbar and home page on HP Computers
Yahoo reached an agreement with Hewlett-Packard to distribute a browser toolbar and make Yahoo the home page on some new computers.
Desktop and notebook computers sold in Europe will be set to show Yahoo's home, while customers in North America will get a co-branded search toolbar, Yahoo said on Thursday in a statement.
Yahoo is seeking to lure more users to its Web sites and search engine through the accord with Hewlett-Packard. Yahoo signed a similar agreement with Acer Inc, the fourth-largest PC maker, last month, while Google Inc has its own agreement with Dell.
"The idea that you can be the default setting is a very good one... People don't change their settings very often." analysts say.
Yahoo's search engine will be set as the default on Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 Web browser on Hewlett-Packard computers in North America when the software is released.
