Is there a way to force IE to display a page just once?
I have an internal web site I want more users to be aware of since I am the
systems computer training.
I would like it to take them there when I want them to see it but not take
over their Home Page setting.

Any ideas?

What about a scheduled task that says iexplore.exe myurl

where myurl is simply a web or ip address?

I mean that way they'd see any updates eventually and you could make the
target page a redirector to any place you like.

With what would I schedule a task?
Is it a FrontPage command? SMS push?
I'd like to have this happen to all users across the company when they open
IE just once.
After that, the next time they open it they would then go to their original
"Home" page, whatever that would be.

Ah, I misunderstood, I thought you were after something to set up on each
machine individually, in which case task scheduler could be used - get a
view of the site once a day, once a week etc to see changes.

I can't think of an easy way to have opening IE trigger a one off event like
this. Doesn't mean there isn't an easy way, just that I can;t think of one.
I mean you kinda have to have IE pointed somewhere to do that and if they
already have miscellaneous homepages set up then maybe what you really need
os some external event to send a one off URL to IE.

Hmm...
