I thought this was one of the core human rights! Your employer needs to be referred to the UN!

Why not just make a shortcut to the page on your desktop, and then click that to open your browser? Unless, of course, you're not allowed to do that either.

I guess, I can put that shortcut into someplace (startup) but not sure...

I am not able to find that place...

Some more human rights that we don't have:

1] wallpaper
2] screen saver
3] web based mail service
4] chatting and other messenger stuff
5] online songs, videos

But still I love my company and it's policies.

Did you try this?

On you desktop:

Right Click->New->Shortcut

Put location as "http://your.home.page.com"

And instead of opening the browser, open this shortcut.

I don't expect you to have registry access, but if you have access to registry , go here -

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

and change "Start Page" to whichever page you want (I have ful access, and I keep it blank )

But since that is most likely to be not allowed, write a small .reg file for thsi key and "Start Page" to whichever page you want, double click on that and set your page to whatever.

Do this. Save following as startPage.reg and double-click on that file and click ok on confirm box (that will pop up asking you if you want to merge this info in the registry) and change your home page!

Print out your desired page on a color printer. Crop as necessary. Use rubber cement to place it over your browser window.

Maybe you are having differnt Windows Registry Editor Version
It works perfectly well on Win XP if you have administrator priviledges.

Try HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER. maybe your anti-virus is not allowing home page to be set, do you get any warning when you try to open IE after you get this message? Let's debug this - this has to work.

Can you navigate to that key in registry and see if it indeed reflects your home page?

I tried KHEY_LOCAL_MACHINE also, but to no effect.

I can get to that registry entry and its showing google.com(my default home page), even after double clicking our registry file.

what you can do is goto www.google.com and check the script under the link "Make Google Your Homepage!"

Make a html page.Put the script with your site name.Open file in IE.Click and you are done. Its fun.

See how smart is the company rules. You can not do that if you know the straight way only. And if you know other way round you can do much more than that which you dont supposed to do.
Cheers.
