can someone post the IE homepage registry key, For the life of me I can't find it, and I have a load of machines to change.

Thanks
 
Theres a few locations to this.

hkey local machine, software, microsoft, internet explorer, then click on main to highlight it and look to your right

kkey current user, software, microsoft, internet explorer, then once again click on main and look to your right

The following example is what you could do to change the home page as well as other IE proxy server settings.

Copy the example below into notepad and save the file as ChangeHomePage.reg. You could then upload the file onto an intranet or manually get users to run it, etc.


REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"ProxyServer"="192.100.100.99:8000"
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
"EnableNegotiate"=dword:00000001
"ProxyOverride"="192.100.100.*"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Start Page"="
