    Hi Everyone,

    I need your expertise here to help me figure out how in the name of God can I get the IE homepage URL using JS.

    I googled almost 4 hours searching for such piece of code, but all I could find is SetHomePage and not something like GetHomePage.

    Your quick advice will be very much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance, Erez

    I don't think it's possible. You can only use the SetHomePage thing.

    You can't do this in Javascript. You can't get to any user information.

    I played around with this a bit using iframes and 'about:home' as the source... which loads the homepage... but you can still not access the url that belongs to it... keep getting access denied etc.. I don't think it is possible in browsers these days....
