Navigate to User Configuration > Preferences > Control Panel Settings > Internet Settings Edit a GPO that targets the users that you want to apply the home page setting. Also remember that the Group Policy Preferences Client Side Extensions are are not installed on Windows XP by default so you will need to make sure they are installed before these settings will work. Internet Explorer 5 & 6 does not support tabbed browsing so this makes it a lot simpler to setup as all you can specify a default home page. If you do want to configure the IE8 setting remember that you will need to use the Internet Explorer 7 screen option instead however all the steps and affects are the same. However as you can see the IE7 and IE8 screens are exactly the same so I will only go thought it using IE8 and the IE5/6 screenshots. Now there are three dialogue Internet Explorer setting that can be used to configured home pages in Group Policy Preferences. The advantage of using Group Policy Preferences is that it allows you to specify a default home page but still allow users to change it if they want.
There really isn’t a right way you can set the users home pages setting it is really up to your requirements and how much control you want to have. In part 2 of how to use Group Policy to configure a users home page I will be show you how to use Group Policy Preferences to configure a users home page.
