as i am not the only one using my computer...i want to lock IE Hompage and other settings so tat nobody changes it..how ddo i do tat? i am using windows xp (ie 6.0) + win98 (IE 6.0<)...i want to lock for both the os'es....

Thats pretty hard to do.... try and setup different account(administrator) for yourself and guest accounts for other members...

Your can however restrict access to other pages in IE.. Click here for a How-to.... Its meant for IE5.... But I guess it won't be too different from IE6.

You can use SpyBot Search and Destroy.
It has a setting to lock your homepage.
And after that you can disable access to Internet Properties so no one can change the homepage.

To Lock IE Homepage:

Paste following code in notepad and save the file with name "home.reg" (including quotes) aqnd then run the file:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel]
"HomePage"=dword:00000001

To disable IE Options, so that no one can change the settings:

Paste following code in notepad and save the file with name "options.reg" (including quotes) aqnd then run the file:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions]
"NoBrowserOptions"=dword:00000001

PS: If u want to enable them in future, just change the DWORD values to 0.

For windows 98, replace:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

with:

REGEDIT4
