Hi, I want to change the home page on some pcs in work and make it so that no one else can change it. Can anyone tell me how to do this please?

There is a manual way to lock the homepage. I assume it is the same technique used by Spybot & other such applications. These are the best solution, but if you want the manual instructions, proceed as follows...

Create a new text document and copy & paste in the following...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel]

"Homepage"=dword:00000001

The 1 at the end of the DWORD denotes that it is locked. To unlock, use all zeros.

Once done, close and save as type "All Files" and call it anyfilename.REG and simply open the file to put the restriction into the registry.

if you dont want to tweak the registry yourself then there's plenty of free software available.
Spybot will prevent changing of the homepage but needs to be installed on each pc.
