How to Redirect URL on Local PC

    My compnay builds a lot of PCs every year, and we have a very loyal customer base. I am also an AdSense publisher.

    I have created a page on one of my websites that has a Google Search ber on it.

    I would like to set each new computer we build to redirect to my sponsored google page when a user types in www.google.com to the browser. Does anyone know how to do this?

    well maybe I how to do it but I would ask this first...
    if your compnay [sic] has such a loyal user base why on earth would you want to pull such a low life stunt on them?

    After some additional research it became clear that rerouting Google.com would also break the Google toolbar and block all other Google services (AdSense, AdWords, Analyitcs, etc...)

    That would be too much of a disservice to our customers. Thanks for the replies though guys!

    No, but it says about his decision to cancel the whole thing.
