1. Changes to the Registry are permanent. Back it up or you'll be outta
luck if something goes wrong.
2. Navigate to this string:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Control Panel
If the keys for Internet Explorer and Control Panel are not
present, add them manually.
1. Right-click the Microsoft key folder, click New, and choose Key.
2. Name it Internet Explorer.
3. Right-click the Internet Explorer key folder, click New, and choose key
4. Name it Control Panel.
3. Right-click the Control Panel key folder and choose "new DWORD
value." Rename the value "Homepage."
4. Right-click the Homepage value, choose Modify, and change the value
from "0" to "1."
Now go into your Internet Explorer options. Your homepage is locked and
unmodifiable!
Here's a shortcut if you'd rather not edit the Registry yourself.
Download and double-click my file. It will make the above changes to
your Registry automatically.
