Starting IE after reboot

Hello,

I need to open an url each time a user opens his Windows session. So I
created a shortcut to "http://my_server_name:my_port_number" and put this
shortcut into the Startup folder of each network user.
On some PCs (e.g. W2K SP4 and IE6 SP1), the IE windows opens, but completely
blank (no url in the address bar, nothing in the status bar). When the users
closes the windows and then relaunches the url, it works fine !
The url points to an internal server running IIS 6 on W2K3.

Any idea, please ?

You could try putting it directly into the registry in this key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

Alternatively you could leave it the same and set the home page to the
http://my_server_name:my_port_number and just set IE to start on boot much
the way you have. Both *should* work for you.
