Programmatically Setting Default Home Page In IE

[Martin Francom]

I would like to programmatically set the home page in IE.
How can I do that?

Situation:  When my customer installs my program I would like  to be
able to give them an option to set their "home page" to my websites
support page.  Is this possible to do?  Programmatially from my
installation program?

The IE homepage is set in the Registry.

See the attached project.

Be advised that some AV software will see that as suspicious activity...

Yes, good point.

I don't have experience with all AV software. Some, if not all, pop up an alert the attempt to change the homepage and ask whether to allow.

What I am doing in my programs is to open Yahoo webpages from menuitems in a Yahoo pulldown menu, SGX webpages from menuitems in a SGX pulldown menu and lastly my support webpage from a menuitem in the Help pulldown menu.

See attached project for the "Help/Support Web" example.
