CC3 IE7 - Tabbed homepages

[docboggle]

Is there any way to set multiple homepages for IE7 through the CC3 management console? ie. Two tabs when users start up IE

Cant figure out how. Is this possible?

Don't know about IE but in FF you can use the pipe character, like this:

 

http://www.example1.com|http://www.example2.com

Even with Active Directory you cannot do this (as far as I am aware). A registry file installed through a logon script may be the answer.

Doesn't work in CC3. Worth a try though!

I have created this ADM template. It seems to work, but is sometimes a bit glitchy. Anyone any ideas why? The problems I'm having is when I enable other IE related policies such as Disable changing home page settings or Tools menu: Disable Internet Options... menu option it causes problems.

 

Here's my code:

 

CLASS USER
CATEGORY !!WindowsComponents
CATEGORY !!InternetExplorer
        
           POLICY !!setSecondaryPages
		#if version >= 4
		SUPPORTED !!SUPPORTED_IE7
		#endif
		EXPLAIN !!setSecondaryPages 
                 KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main"
                 PART "Secondary Pages"
                       EDITTEXT
                       VALUENAME "Secondary Start Pages"
                       DEFAULT "http://www.logistixonline.com/"
                 END PART
               END POLICY 
     END CATEGORY
END CATEGORY

[strings]
SUPPORTED_IE7="At least Internet Explorer 7.0"
WindowsComponents="Windows Components"
InternetExplorer="Internet Explorer"
setSecondaryPages="Specify Secondary IE Start Page"

 

Copy into Notepaid and save as IE7secondary.ADM. Once imported, navigate to View > Filtering and untick Only show policy settings that can be fully managed.

 

The policy will be listed within User Config > Admin Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer

 

Specify Secondary IE Start Page
