And yes, you can do it by going into the GPO under User Configuration (Windows Settings | Internet Explorer Maintenance | URLs) Select the Properties of the URLs and then enter your home page in the field labelled Home Page URL.

Thanks guys, but how aboat if a user logon a computer more than once a day. I want it to startup only one time a day, when a user logon his computer.

Is there anywhere in a Group policy to setup only run this once a day. ?

every time he will log on, once he logged it will start the internet explorer

why you need it only one time????

I need it to do it once because of the policy of the company - it's our intranet site.
We have in a vbs script today, but now I would like it to be a group policy - so we don't need the script.
But I can't find anywhere in GP to set it up.
but why you need only once

can you tell me the whole story !!!

It is a decision from the leadership that it should be that way
that's the story :-)
Do you know a solution with GPO ?
i will be only for one time if the user did not log off, for example if the user only lock his machine when he log on it will not start again, i will start again only if he log off and log on again

sorry but thats not good :-(
I think I will try with a plan job to run once a day a time 8.00

Thanks for your time
but why only you need to run internet explorer one time and in specific time?
When user log off and login he will get the page again, If user locked and login again then he wont get the page. So now you have decide how you planning to perform this and let me know.

We can't use that solution sorry....the users shut down every day.
even if you the user shut down the PC every day, next day when they open the PC it will start the internet explorer...
