[WEB4LIB] multiple internet access points

[Dobbs, Aaron]

Sorry, won't work.  
Changing the "home page" does exactly that for each profile (no matter how
many times ie's installed)  there is only one spot in the registry (for each
profile) for "home page" to be defined.  (something about ie being
integrated with the os -- a p.i.t.a. for sure, at times  :)
Try tweaking your favorites (put 2 or 3 spaces infront of the links to the
sites you want to have as the "home page" and then sort by name so these
links are at the top of the favorites list) with an appropriate naming
convention.
Sorry.

PS a working work-around would be welcome if anyone finds it, I've failed at
this enough times to just go with the favorites "solution"

Hi,
Using a current version of internet explorer, I want to place three
different icons on the desktop representing three different home pages.  The
problem is that they all point to the same version of IE and while they
originally open to the correct home page, as soon as you move from that home
page and then hit the home button, it takes you back to the "master" home
page (the home page set for the first icon that was implemented).  Do I and
can I load IE three times to reflect the unique properties of the three
different icons?  Thanks for any help that can be offered on this.
Kim
