I just checked my two IE6 VMs (on XP and Win2k), my IE7 machine (XP Pro) and my IE8 machine (Win7 Pro) and setting the home page is the first option on the "General" tab of "Internet Options" as opened from the "Control Panel" for all of them.

A third method, if IE is your default browser, is to double-click on the icon for any Internet URL. This goes to show that this trick does not completely shut down IE. But it will stymie those users who believe that the only way to surf the Internet is to go to the homepage first, always the default set by Microsoft or their ISP.

Scary. The IT people feel no one should use anything other than Internet Explorer because it's "the industry standard." The same IT folks seemed to think I was overly paranoid when I kept calling in trouble tickets when the antivirus software on the wall mounted monitors were all displaying warnings that conficker had been blocked from installing from some other computer on the network.

I guess this is useful to web designers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XP_Mode#Windows_XP_Mode or search for XP Mode in Wikipedia.

It was there when I opened Internet Options from the Tools menu inside Internet Explorer. It was not there when I opened Internet Options from the Control Panel. (I am using XP SP3 and IE8, all up to date. I might have a chance to try this with IE6 next week.) Is this because Internet Options only makes settings for all users? (That would make sense -- the administrator can enforce security on the limited users and guests; obviously homepage should be left up to each user.) Do earlier versions or service packs do it differently? I just looked for the home page setting in the Internet Options applet.
