How To: Change Internet Explorer Home page

To better optimize my PDA, I thought it wise to replace Internet Explorer default home to a real webpage. This way, a connection is immediately initiated when I launch Pocket Explorer and Pocket PC Mauritius is displayed on the screen. There are two ways to change the default home page. The first one is through Internet Explorer options and the second requires modifying the Registry. Remember: Messing up with the registry can render your pda useless. Be extremely careful.

Open Internet Explorer
First thing you need to go the page you want as your homepage, Pocket PC Mauritius is a good example :-). Tap Menu – Tools – Options – General Tab – Use current.

or

Open Registry

Go to HKLM – Software – Microsoft – Internet Explorer – AboutURLs - Home and insert the link to Pocket PC Mauritius.
