Can someone point me to the right area of registry if I want to set default
Home Url to out site before the users are created in XP

To give an example The Browser always points to www.microsoft.com/ with UK
Msn site as default when starting Exploer first time.

I want to make sure the default is always our site....
Many thanks

Hi

I think you can do this by loading the registry hive (ntuser.dat) for "Default
User" and apply the change there.

(note that this will not change the setting for users that already have logged
onto the computer previously).


Here is how:

Start regedt32.exe.

Type "loading hives" in Regedit's help (under the index tab).

Load the Default profile (typically C:\Documents & Settings\Default
User\NTUSER.dat).

Under the loaded hive's
Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main, set "Start Page" to your Web site.

Unload the hive.

Log on with a new user and check the result.
