handishen, I do not think you can set a specific site using nLite or set a second homepage. After you run nLite (select Google as homepage) you can edit HIVEDEF.INF (probably in your i386 folder, use notepad) and look for this key:

HKCU,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main","Start Page",0x00000000,"http://www.google.com/"

Change the URL to one you like. I do not know how to set the key for the second one but you can try this:

HKCU,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main","Secondary Start Pages",0x00000000,"http://www.second.com/"

Please let us know what you learn. Enjoy, John.

EDIT: handishen, I have done some testing and this does not work correctly. If you want to experiment, please note that I have added an s to Secondary Start Page. I will repost when I have more information. Enjoy, John.

handishen, sorry, but this is not the way to accomplish this. I have found at least one other place (NLITE.IN_) where the Start Page is set. I think the way to do it is with a register tweak run from the RunOnce exit. Enjoy, John.

you can use IEAK to build a branding file. I know its not quite as fun as searching for non-M$ ways to do it, but ieak6 and 7 are quite functional, I have not used ieak8 RC1.

downloads for ieak are on the right hand side.

"i'm the first to use nlite" is an awesome mistranslation.

handishen, here are the commands to specify the start page and as many as you want. Just change the names of the web sites to what you like. The ~ is used to separate the multiple URLs in the Secondary Start Pages. If you have only one Secondary page drop the ~, but not the /f. You can run it directly from the RunOnce (Unattended) tab of nLite on put the commands into a batch (.bat) file and run the file from RunOnce. I have tried this directly, but not during an install. Please give it a try and let us know what you learn. Enjoy, John.

REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /v "Start Page" /d http://www.google.com /f
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /v "Secondary Start Pages" /s ~ /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d http://Mail.yahoo.com~http://my.yahoo.com /f
