Set Home Page/ IE 5

[JoshT]

Is there a way using Javascript or VBScript on a web page to set Internet Explorer 5's home page to a certain site? I'd assume if it exists it would prompt for user confirmation before making the change. It would be a heck of a lot easier to set everyone on my Intranet to the right home page rather than editing the registry on all the computers.

Thanks,
Josh

That's very impressive Matt!

Does strange things on NS6 though!


I've seen commercial sites which actually merge a registry file (prompts you fisrt of course!) to set the homepage - something I've always thought a bit dodgy.

Thanks, Matt, that's exactly what I was looking for.

I'm not too worried about Netscape as we're standardized with IE5 & up - it installed with Office and offers better Authentication than NS.
