Original code found at:
With all the different permissions and rights to restrict what can be done, sometimes you might find this little script useful to set a specific home page, especially where your Tools/Options has been limited by policy. So far I've used this a few times now, and it's worked right through the policies that are in place. Maybe it'll be helpful to you too, either for your own use, or for a customer of yours.
Script attached in this message, listed below. You'll need to edit the "charter.msn.com" part to make it be whatever you need it to be (and no, I don't work for Charter cable) and there are 5 places to make that change.
After you make the changes (in notepad for instance) save the text as an HTML file (I called mine sethome.html) and then execute it. It'll come up plain and simple with a link to set <YOUR HOMEPAGE> as homepage. Click on the link, it'll throw a confirmation dialogue to which you click yes, and it's done. Quite simple!
Enjoy!
