Very possible. Download GPMC from <a href="http://www.microsift.com/downloads" rel="ugc">http://www.microsift.com/downloads</a>&nbsp;and install it on a Win2003 domain controller. It makes working with GPOs much, much easier.<br />
<br />
Without looking, I think the settings you're after are in User Configuration, Administrative templates, Internet Explorer..... I'll check when I've got access to a domain.<br />

To place IE in the startup folder you will probably need to go the logon script route. &nbsp;I'm not aware of any policies that will allow this.

I would like to set up a basic group policy to put IE in all my users start up folder and set thier home page to a predetermined site. &nbsp;I am not familiair at all with Group Policy, is this something that can be done? &nbsp;If so, is there a very basis tutorial out there somewhere that would help walk me through setting this up?<br />

Thanks.

Group Policy

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
