jayunsplanet Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Basically, I need to change the homepage in IE and FF on hundreds of PC's. Before I get grilled... I'm just a lowly grunt worker and my opinions and ideas are worth jack shyte to the higher ups (without divulding the technology we use --- things are in place to have this take literally a minute -- but it's all fubar here.)... so I need to make do with what I can. I have a working script that will change the homepage in IE... we'll deploy it/push it over the network to our clients. (If worst comes to worst, we can attach it to a user login and have the script run that way..) Anyway. So now, I need a script to change the homepage in Firefox. This would also be pushed out to clients to run/execute... Any ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DingleBerries Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Open a reg key in C++ IE [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Start Page"="http://www.PAGE.HERE/" Firefox is different and you will have to read the profile.ini to find the default profile and edit it from there. You will have to edit: \Profiles\*.default\prefs.js EDIT OR use this guys vbs for ie http://www.bigresource.com/VB-How-do-I-cha...8c993pFovU.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayunsplanet Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 I already have the IE script working... Just need Firefox. Although I have an idea of what needs to be done, I haven't done much tinkering with it, just wanted to see if you guys knew the answer right off the bat.
