I am trying to set up two shortcuts for IE which go to
two different home pages but it will not work. When I
change one to a different home page it changes both short
cuts. I have done this on XP before but Windows 2000
will not let me do this. Does anyone know a way around
this?

Don't know exactly what you mean by home pages - you can have only one in
IE, per Windows profile. But it isn't really relevant. If you create
shortcuts that just specify http://blah.com and http://blah2.com on your
desktop, does this accomplish what you wish?

This should be what happens but it doesn't. When I
specify one of the IE shortcuts it change any IE shortcut
on my desktop. So in essence, when I open IE from
different shortcuts they all have the same default page.
I want them to have two different default pages.

You can't have two "home pages" or default pages in the same Windows
profile. And as I said, it isn't relevant or necessary.
What's in your shortcuts, exactly?
I can create two shortcuts - one that has www.yahoo.com as the target, and
one that has www.google.com as the target. I double click on each, and each
opens the page it's supposed to.
