asked on

Scripting IE page launch

We would like our intranet page to load in IE when the user signs in to his/her pc.

Is there a way to add something to our existing login script for this?

We do NOT want to force their homepage to be the intranet via group policies. (long story!)

why not write a batch and place it in the startup directory that contains the following line:

iexplore www.google.com

(Obviously amend www.google.com to the site of your intranet page, you may also need to point your path to wherever internet explorer is installed, or else put in a CD to that directory before the above line).

sorry, im a real newbie to this -

how can I place the batch file in the startup directory remotely?
No problems

If you have admin or access rights to the destination machines c:\ you can go to:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

and place the file in there...

oh, well i wanted to deploy this automatically without having to sit at 35 different machines. can that be scripted somehow?
