Your question seems to have caused some confusion. Do you want to know how to alter the default start page for Internet Explorer? Perhaps altering the registry key would work: `[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Start Page"="http://www.perlmonks.org"` See CPAN for registry editing modules. Note that such changes may be blown away by logon/start up scripts depending on your environment, and you may not have sufficient privileges to edit the registry. Martin	[reply] [d/l]

What does "turn off a...designated homepage" mean? Do you mean close the browser? ...close one page among several currently being rendered by the browser? ...something else?	[reply]
