allow multiple home pages while still locking home page

[Joe]

Hello,



We would like to allow multiple home pages while still allowing users to add

additional home pages. When we apply "Disable changing home page" group

policy, the additional home page tabs disappear when the policy is applied.

We also tried disabling the "Disable Changing secondary home page settings",

yet users extra home pages still disappear on reboot as long as the "Disable

changing home page setting is enabled.



Anyone else having this problem?

If the user wants multiple pages loaded at once, and rather than have it

done everytime they load IE (because they may not want all those pages

loaded everytime), have them pick a home page or use about:blank or

about:tabs and then use a Favorites *group* to open the multiple pages (save

them using Favorites -> Add Current Tabs to Favorites) WHEN they want rather

than all the time. Tab groups make it quite handy to decide when you want

to load a whole bunch of them at once but you're not stuck with that choice

and having to wait for the tabs to load everytime you want to use IE.
