For the section to work, you need to add the following code in WinNT.sif:

[Branding]
BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes

Keep in mind that the first time IE is executed manually you will still be sent to [url=http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId-69157]http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId-69157 and redirected from there to a Micosoft webpage to encourage you to install IE7 or, if you slipstreamed IE7, to thank you for choosing IE7. This is normal. Your homepage will take effect the next time IE is manually executed.

Strange. Setting yahoo as my homepage works for me. But I did not use nLite to test this in XP x64 with IE6; I only edited my WinNT.sif. Either there's a problem specific to the copy of XP Home you're using, you slipstreamed IE7 and that's causing the problem somehow, or nLite is messing up somewhere.
