asked on

Lenovo homepage for Default User

Ok, How do I set the homepage for the default user?  I have tried everything I can think of.  

I have changed the
HKLM\software\microsoft\Internet Explorer\main  -  Default_Page_URL, Start Page
I have loaded the default user hive and changed the settings in there and it STILL sets it every time!
I even sysprepped it and had it set to copy profile with the Homepage set to no avail.  It's Windows 7 SP1 with IE9.

Lenovo has thinkvantage utility called Access connections which contains different network profiles. In this utility you can select printers / defautl page etc for a specific network profiel. Change the homepage there.

I am not seeing anything called Access Connections.  There is an Access Help, but that's not what I need.  I think the Access Connections has been gone for a while.
@johnb6767 - c:\users\default\ntuser.dat
Load the default hive again, and try this one......

“HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page”

Under hklm/loaded hive/software of course....
Is setti this by gpo an option as well?
