Hello, I've tried searching the Internet on this question and couldn't find an answer. When I ran across this forum, I thought maybe ya'll could help...

I would like to make a link to my computer's home page. I want to take that link and put it on my intranet at work, so all users will use it to get out to the Internet. But I do not want to mandate what each person uses for a home page, so my link would take the person to the home page they have set in IE. So if my home page is Yahoo! and my co-worker's home page is Google, then the link I make would take the two of us to our desired pages. Is this possible?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Why can't your users just use the home button already provided in their browser? I'm not trying to be smart, it just seems like you're trying to do something redundant.

Yes, they could do it that way I suppose, but I was trying to avoid that. You see we're changing all of our users over to go through a proxy server for Internet access, and we want to splash something that tells them that their activities are being monitored. So I've got a fancy little company logo on a webpage on the Intranet, and when the users open the Internet it hits my page telling them they're being monitored and offers a link that leads them to the Internet. Well, no matter where I point the link, people hate me. So I thought maybe there would be a way I could point that link at the home page, through some sort of variable or something.

I'm guessing at this point if nobody has jumped up with an answer I'm in trouble, but I thought it'd be worth a try at least...

Thanks
