Setting Internet Explorer start page

In Secure Lockdown - Internet Explorer Editition, it could be extremely useful to have the possibility to set the start page, which IE should, well, start with.

On our Kiosk-PC there is a group policy, which sets the start page, but when starting in kiosk-mode, this setting seems to be ignored. Logging in normally as the kiosk-user, without Secure Lockdown enabled, and starting IE makes it respect the group policy setting.

Any work-arounds for this?

Before Secure Lockdown is enabled, within IE, set the homepage. That will also be the startup page.

The homepage is being set via a group-policy-setting. But somehow, when running in kiosk mode, that setting is being ignored and IE starts on the default msn homepage.

If I start IE normally as the same user, and not with Secure Lockdown running, the homepage set via group policy is respected. So somehow Secure Lockdown interferes with this setting.

Do you need to use the group policy setting for this? Have you tried just configuring the home page in IE?

Using the group policy setting is a matter of politics ;)

Secure Lockdown obviously interferes with this setting somehow, which it of course should not. Having a start page setting in Secure Lockdown would be nice in any case, and considering all the other options for IE already in there it would be an obvious addition.

Please specify the Group Policy setting that you're using to configure the home page.

Regarding having a home page setting in Secure Lockdown, there are no settings in Secure Lockdown that can be configured within the browser itself. Only IE configuration settings not available within the browser are found within Secure Lockdown.
