We are using Windows 2000 for our servers and XP Professional for our
desktops. I'm trying to create a group policy so that I.E. will use our
company's Intranet site as it's Home Page. The location of the intranet is
on our file server. Whenever I type out the path to this location
\\servername\foldername\file I receive a message to Please Specify a valid
URL. What would be the correct URL path to locate our intranet site if it is
stored on a file server within a directory?

You want the share name in there.

\\servername\sharename\foldername\file

Hi

Try this:

file://///servername/share/file

Note all is forward slash, and 5 of them after file:
 
D'oh... I didn't read your post carefully, sorry. Yeah, that wouldn't work
in IE.
