Thanks, everybody, for your replies. I thought it would work fine with no "technical" issues (political ones are inevitable, of course).

I can't seem to find those distinctions. I'd love to be able to reset everybody's home page just for their initial login after all the training is done, and let them reset it if they want to, and let it stay that way. I see where you can set it as "enforced" which I did not do, but our testing shows that everytime somebody logs off and then on again, they'll get the intranet start page regardless of whether they changed it or not. In fact, one of our testers discovered that if she closes all instances of IE, then waits five minutes or so, starting IE back up again once again resets her homepage, even if she didn't log off the machine. Gotta love all this fun we're having! In a few days, it'll be a moot point. Some exec will decide they don't like it, and I'll be instructed to take it off. -- Larry Wahlers Concordia Technologies The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] direct office line: (314) 996-1876 List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.activedir.org/ml/threads.aspx
