Homepage on Startup

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

Folks;

Is there a way to keep my designated Homepage invokable per the usual
commands, without loading it as part of the startup regimen?

I know I've seen references to this on the site, but nothing shows up for it
on my "Find" search.

Also; if anyone has experience with a 'wetware' fix for the command; "Oh;
you'll remember that.exe", I would like to learn about it. My current
install seems to be missing something.

Hunh?

Pass IE an URL?
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" http://www.google.com/

??? By "designated Homepage" do you mean your home page in Internet Explorer? What
does this have to do with loading it at startup? Loading what at startup?
"invokable" through *what* usual commands? I cannot figure out what you are
referring to.

What is it you want to do? Open IE and have a page *other* than your
"home page" open? Just click an URL, type one into the address bar,
click a favorite, etc. You don't have to go to your home page you know;
personally, I've never had one, never saw any value in it.

Bill;

...... trying to do this and cook dinner at the same time..... I should have
added:

"If the latter change the command of the startup item to-
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome"

Perfect; that is what I was searching for.

Thanks;

rooster

Hi Bill;

"the network connection isn't
completely set up yet. Broadband or dial-up?"

HS Cable, single dedicated line.

Our messages appearing out of phase are.

Your Rx solved the problem nicely.

Gotta run. Wiffey will be upset if I burn the salad; again.
