If users, potentially more than one per machine, futz around with the home page setting, they can easily get lost and forget the various URLs. I would assume that the sysadmin, wishing to save time on unnecessary support calls, would want to lock down the home page for that purpose. However, this is a problem that is more common on Windows, since it has to contend with browser hijackers and "make this your homepage" type COM/ActiveX popups, that you just don't get under Linux, nor with Mozilla browsers. However, there is certainly no harm in locking it down (at work) and might actually save a few headaches. -- K. http://slated.org - Slated, Rated & Blogged Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux) on sky, running kernel 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5 05:38:58 up 17 days, 5:55, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
