I am setting up some windows 2k computers in a netware environment. I use netware to create dynamic users so that they can use any NT or 2k pc on the LAN without having an account on the PC. IE will automatically run its run once routine and set their default homepage to msn.com. I want it to automatically default to our local intranet page for every user the network creates. Any ideas?

Hi Sandy,
I believe I have an answer for you, I am on an XP machine right now but the solution should be simular.

In the run box type gpedit.msc
then click
user configuration then
windows settings then
Internet Explorer Maintenance then
URLs then
Important URLs

This box allows you to select a custom start page that will open when a user starts IE.

I wish I could test this on a 2K machine to be sure for you but it should set you down the right path (so to speak)
Barry

That did the trick Barry. I combined your tip with copying a cleaned up test user account over the Default User profile and accomplished most of what I needed to do.
