At timed intervals during the days or when they open up internet explorer both are good for me
Are you the author of the webpage you want to refresh?
if not I would use sheduled tasks in windows to start a little script that would close the open browser and start a new browser with the right url in it.

Changing Internet Explorer’s Default Start Page
To change the default start page for Internet Explorer, proceed as follows:
1. Download and install AutoIt, from
http://www.hiddensoft.com/autoit
2. Place autoit2.exe in the netlogon folder
3. Create a logon script that maps localy the netlogon folder, execute “autoit2 scriptfile” and then delets the maped folder:
##start logon script##
@ECHO OFF
net use r: \\your_server\NETLOGON
%0\..\autoit2 scriptfile
net use r: /delete
##end logon script##
Here scriptfile is a text file that contains the following:
##start scriptfile##
Run, control.exe inetcpl.cpl
WinWaitActive, Internet Properties
Send, http://www.jesseweb.com{Enter}
##end scriptfile###
Then you should disable changing home page setting:
Edit your group policy
go to User Configuration
Administrative templates
Internet Explorer
Disable Changing home page settings

If you enable this policy, the settings in the Home Page area on the General tab in the Internet Options dialog box appear dimmed.
If you disable this policy or do not configure it, users can change their home page.
If you set the "Disable the General page" policy (located in \User Configuration\Administrati ve Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Internet Control Panel), you do not need to set this policy, because the "Disable the General page" policy removes the General tab from the interface."
