		<description>Couple of options


1. Like TimW mentions, Mcafee or another security app has hold of the changing of the homepage ( security thing ) Spybot can also do this if installed.

2. Run this Registry change file as all it does is make IE7 thing you have completed the steps in starting IE7 for the first time.

Open Notepad and past this text in


Quote:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
&quot;RunOnceComplete&quot;=dword:00000001
&quot;RunOnceHasShown&quot;=dword:00000001  

then click files Save As and just name it IE7 Fix.reg, then in Save as File Type, choose All Files in the drop down menu and Save

Then double click the registry file created and merge it with the registry ( remember to have all IE7 windows closed at this point.


or you can just run this app that will do similar to above.. but automatically, just wanted to show the text on what it does http://www.majorgeeks.com/download5651.html

Then change your HomePage to your favoured Bing.</description>

		<description>I am trying to set up some computers to open to a default home page in Internet Explorer. I need Explorer to open to a specific page for all users who log in to the computers. There will be multiple users on these machines and I don&#039;t know all logins. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.</description>

		<description>We&#039;ve discovered that the Start Page value cannot be a REG_EXPAND_SZ for IE7.  If you delete the Start Page value and then re-create it as a REG_SZ value, entering the URL you desire for the homepage, IE7 should work just fine...  The problem could be that, if you are using Active Directory and Group Policies, that the group policy could re-create the problem on a schedule.</description>

		<description>If you have an Active Directory setup then you don&#039;t need to set this with a login script. You can use Group Policy to set the Internet Explorer home page.</description>

		<description>To set the page via a login script that does not prompt the user with a YES or NO option try the following:

Create a file called IEUPDATE.BAT and paste the following code into it:

@echo off
set key=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
set value=Start page
set data=%1
reg.exe add &quot;%key%&quot; /v &quot;%value%&quot; /d &quot;%data%&quot; /f

Save the file and place it somewhere on your network that everyone can get to, preferably a Shared folder.

Now in the login script enter the following:

\\YOURSERVERNAME\YOURSHARNAME\IEUPDATE &quot;http://www.yourwebsite.com&quot;

Each time the user logs on the homepage will be reset to the page you specify with no prompt for YES or NO.

(Please note: I did not come up with this but found the code elsewhere so credit where credit is due : http://www.intelliadmin.com/blog/2007/08/set-ie-default-home-page-from-script.html )

		<description>Thanks for that regedit tip.  I substituted www.google.co.uk for what was there, re-opened IE7 and up came the google page that I have been denied for some while.  IE6 allowed the home page to be set from &#039;internet options&#039;.  IE7 went backwards in that respect.</description>
