we have a new manager who wants us to change the homepage of all of our local
browsers to our internal website. For all new users this will not be a
problem because we can update our default profile, but for current users 200+
this could be a time consuming nightmare.
A small note our users are not allowed direct access to the regeistry so we
cannont simply copy the IE section and merge it into each users
hkey_localuser....
A command line option would be great so we could add it to our login script.

Thanks

It would sound like the IEAK would be helpful in managing the way IE is
setup and deployed on your network:

You can also make this change via Group Policy under Windows
Settings...Internet Explorer Maintenance...URLs.

If you are looking for a command line option to open IE at logon with an
opening page specified, just put the URL after iexplore.exe - for instance
iexplore.exe www.cnn.com

These sites might be useful:

http://www.amset.info/loginscripts/registry.asp - applying registry changes
via login script. You can make up a .reg file to change the home page, and
also to lock that setting so users can't change it.
