batch file for IE7 Homepage

[bigwillywgl]

Sorry to bother everyone, but I need a batch file to change the
homepage for IE7. We have a company that uses sharepoint and we are
moving sharepoint onto a different server. I was wondering if it was
at all possible to get a batch file to change their homepage from
server to the other, without having to go to each PC and changing it
manually? Any help would be much appreciated! I do know that there is
an option in regedit to change the "start page"="ps08" for instance,
but I have not been able to create a batch in order to do so!

Thanks!!!

You can use the reg.exe command. Type reg /? at command prompt for more help.

Good Luck, Ayush.

is there any way you can help me any more than that, I tried to use
but I want to make sure that nothing too horrible happens to the
computer. Especially if I am changing anything in the Registry?
Basically what I need to do is change the current default from ps02 to
ps08 with a batch file so i can add this onto their login batch.

For IE6, this will work(i dont know the reg key/value for IE7) :
;`````````````````````````````````````````````;
@echo off
set key=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
set value=Start page
set data=ps08

reg.exe add "%key%" /v "%value%" /d "%data%" /f
;`````````````````````````````````````````````;



Good Luck, Ayush.

what is wrong with the batch file i gave you ?

If you want a single line, then use :
reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /v "Start
Page" /d "ps08" /f



Good Luck, Ayush.
