Multiple Homepages for IE8

[mainbc]

Hi,

Is there a way to set multiple homepages (using tabs in the same instance of the browser) using GP when using IE8?

I am able to setup one through:

User Configuration | Windows Settings | Internet Explorer Maintenance | URLs | Important URLs

Thanks,

In Internet Explorer 8 you can do by enabling the following Group Policy settings.

\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer ---> "Disable changing home settings" and "Disable changing secondary home page settings".

True to your name you have provided a very reasonable answer. But maybe I should rewrite my query. What I need is, when users start IE8, they should have multiple tabs opening with each tab having a unique homepage.

I am able to set the secondary webpage as you suggested but it does not open up another tab.

Thanks,

Maybe a bit late to answer, but anyway maybe it helps others.

I've got the same problem an Micorosoft confirmed that this is a bug. I think this should be fixed in Server 2008 R2.

I believe you can do this through User Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Internet Settings. Right click -> New -> IE8. On the General Tab, under Home Page, press F6 to enable the setting and add each web address you want to open in a new tab.
