homepage is classified and registered through a user carrying
out with a mouse a drag-and-drop action of its pointer to
shift an item displayed in a region of the screen where the
homepage is displayed to one of classifications determined by
the user and displayed on the screen. This allows the
registration of e.g. a homepage address to be much simplified.

Abstract: A recording medium storing a write protection
information, and a write protection method for protecting
data recorded on a recordable and/or rewritable disc from
unwanted overwriting or erasing. In order for write
protection of a disc in a bare state that is usually used
in a cartridge having a recognition switch for write-protection,
such as a DVD-RAM, write protection
information is recorded in a Lead-in area, a Lead-out area
or a recording information area other than a user data
area of the disc, and the data is protected from unwanted
overwriting or erasing using the write protection
information. Also, even though the write protection
information stored on a disc does not match the state of a
recognition switch of a case for write-protection, the
data can be prevented from unwanted overwriting or
erasing. Thus, the write protection can be ensured when a
recordable and/or rewritable recording medium, such as
DVD-RAM, DVD-R and DVD-RW, is used in a bare state.
