Hi,

Sometime in scripts or or in login scripts we want to set a users Internet Explorer home page to our Intranet site or to some other specific URL.

This became very handy and useful some times.

the code is below.

 

$myURL = "http://microsoft.com"
set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\main' -Name "Start Page" -Value $myURL 

In above code, we are setting a $myURL in to the registry key “HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\main”

Now lets test it.

 

i run the above code, and now my homepage should be set to “http://microsoft.com”

wow!

Lets try one more, lets try to set google as a home page

and let open the IE again.

Bingo ! working 🙂

I hope you will like this little tweak.

and Happy weekend Guys 🙂
