What is the difference between homepage of website and homepage of web browser?

A home page for a website is the very first page - the landing page. So, for example, Google's home page is google.com, and the home page for this site is answers.com.

A home page for a browser is the page you choose to load first when you open the browser - it can be anything you want it to be.

For example, my browser of choice is FireFox. FireFox by default has it's home page set to mozilla.com, so every time I open FireFox it opens on mozilla.com. If I want to, I can change this to open google.com when FireFox opens.

You can find out how to change your browser's home page by visiting your favorite browser's website and looking up the instructions.

What is the difference between com files and exe files?

There's not much difference to the normal user. However, to those more concerned with how it works, there are some differences.

A COM file is self-contained and cannot exceed 64KB in size because the stack, data, and code must all fit within 64KB. EXE files have no limiting size and have more header information.

The main difference is how they are loaded. When a COM file is loaded by DOS, it is loaded into low memory. EXE files separated where the CONST is loaded low and DATA is loaded high.

Also, if you have both, say EXAMPLE.COM and EXAMPLE.EXE, in the same directory and try to execute without specifing the extention, the COM will load first.
