| 76811 | 2002-09-05 22:56:00 | Hi all. I have just been thinking about internet shortcuts. At nmit I have a shortcut on my desktop to PressF1. but sometimes I carryon surfing to other sites. So I was thinking is it possible to set up the internet shortcuts so that there home page is the shortcut itself. What I mean is this. The main internet explorer homepage be whatever you have it as. The shortcut to PressF1 have the homepage of PressF1 The shortcut to say Google have the homepage of Google etc Just a thought. Of course if it can't be done maybe I should learn more languages and see if I could create a program that could do that. Sounds like fun Cheers :) |

| 76812 | 2002-09-05 23:09:00 | Hmm.. not quite sure what you mean, but if it helps, try shrinking your browser window so you can see your desktop, surf to the site and page you want to keep, and then drag and drop the location (icon in the address bar) to your desktop. | SoniKalien (792) | ||
| 76813 | 2002-09-06 00:37:00 | Umm ... if I read you right you are saying that if you open IE off a desktop shortcut, you want the homepage for that particular window to be the address of the shortcut. So, in theory you could have, say, 3 IE windows open and each one of them would go to a different page when clicking the Home button. If that's what you mean then I don't think it's possible, as the Home page link is a registry setting. You would then need to have a separate setting for every open window. The easiest way to get near to what you want is to turn on the Links toolbar. View > Toolbars > Links, then put those really important shortcuts on there for single-click access. |

| 76814 | 2002-09-06 00:42:00 | Yes That is exactly what I mean. I think that is good Idea, I will have to figure out if it is possible to create a program to do that. O well Susan has reached 1000 posts. But I have finally reached 200 Ya!! :P |

| 76815 | 2002-09-06 01:20:00 | If you're gonna write a program to do it .... I think your best bet is to encapsulate IE panes in your program, and with every new instantiation of an IE pane create a homepage variable for that particular pane -- maybe using an array in RAM, rather than writing to disk for speed ?? |
