There are several ways to do this. I would use reg.exe from the resource kit to change the following value:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page
The batch or command line method would be:
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /v "Start Page" /t REG_SZ /d /f
To set the home page to Google and force overwriting whatever is there.
You could also use the vbs regwrite or you could export the registry key, create a .reg file, remove the unnecessary stuff you don't want to change and then "merge" that into the registry of another computer.
