Internet Explorer Home Page

[UKalliance]

Hi All,

I'm very new to VBScript, so please bear that in mind. I want to be able to force internet explorer to run as soon as users log into the domain, and I also want to be able to set a certain page as the home page each time they log into the domain.

any ideas?

Thanks

Well it would depend on what system you have in place. If you have Active Directory, you can force the homepage via a Group Policy setting (which cannot be modified by the user). And to get Internet Explorer to run when a user logs in, you can simply add a line to your login script to run Internet Explorer - to force a certain homepage other than the default homepage, just simply issue the command similar to this:

IEXPLORE.EXE

http://www.mywebsite.com

You would have to put the above command into vbs form for it to work in your login script of course

Thanks for the reply.

We have Active Directory in place, but the client is wanting to achieve this by using login scripts rather than GPO. I have already achieved this for them using GPO, but for the IT manager this was too complicated to show the rest of the staff.

ok, sorry to bother you but how do you compile a VBS file and get it to execute on login? Is there anywhere on the DC that is has to be saved to?
