Home pages

[georgeous]

Is there a way of having more than one homepage so that everytime you open up Internet Explorer than a different homepage comes up each time. Just Wondering

[doghandler]

I'm not sure about having more than one homepage, but I have written a page of my favourite links, (I made it look better by downloading graphics from each page in question). I then published this page to my own webspace, and set it as my homepage, this way my homepage is effectively a links page to all MY favourite pages.

The only reason I published it is so I can also link to it from my work computer, but if you were only using it for your home computer, you dont even need to publish it, just store it on your hard drive and you can still set it as your homepage.

Sorry that this doesnt answer your question, but failing any other answers, it might be an option for you?

You can do this with a tiny bit of effort.   If you save the code on this page:
http://www.stevie21.f2s.com/randomRedirect.txt
to your hard drive as an html file it's easy.

Save that lot to your C: as "randomRedirect.html" and then set this as your homepage:
file:///C:/randomRedirect.html

 

You can change the filename of the html file and also the location you save it to.  Of more relevance you can save the pages mentioned inside the text/html file.  Just enter your own bookmarks instead of nme.com, google.com etc. that are already mentioned in my text file here.  If you ever want to amend/add/delete these homepages then just right click the html file you've saved and "open with" Notepad.

You could also do this by setting your homepage as an online equivalent of this html page of mine but you'd then need to upload it somewhere and set that page as your homepage.  I think the first version of events is simpler.

That first link should obviously NOT include the "br" tag at the end.  IF the page below redirects rather than just being displayed as text then let me know:

Ignore the fact that there's a question mark there (I'm just trying to circumvent AB's nice habit of appending rubbish to the end of the url) - just copy and paste the content of the page that loads and then change the webpages listed there to your own preferences.

Jeez - I thought that this was going to be dead easy!! haha

You Could change your browser to Avant browser its free and works over top of IE explorer but with added functions (tabbed browsing,mouse gestures etc) but most important for you is you can have a list of as many home pages you want and choose from any of them. Hope this helps.
