Change your homepage in Internet Explorer
If you’re like me and you’re annoyed by the fact you cannot change your homepage on Internet Explorer (because of corporate security settings) here is how to change it:Start → Run
Type REGEDIT

In the registry window, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER → Software → Microsoft → Internet Explorer → Main

Look for the value START PAGE on the right panel
Right-click on it and select MODIFY

Replace the exchange URL with your new homepage address
It’s a pain to do it this way, but it’s the only way…
