I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to keep AIM from changing the the Internet Explorer homepage after it gets installed? I used SetUpMgr.exe to set the homepage to my liking, but then AIM hijacks it after it gets installed.

REG ADD %KEY%\009 /VE /D "AOL Instant Messenger"REG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\postinstall\AIM\Install_AIM.exe /s" /f

Are there any other switches I need to use to prevent this from happening?

Thanks

just change it back - It is a registry entry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]"Start Page"="http://www.google.com/"
Posted

I export the current home page, install AIM, then restore the homepage using the following code:

REG EXPORT "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" "%systemdrive%\Installs\HomePage.reg"

start /wait Install\AIM\InstallAIM.exe /s

sleep 10

REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Installs\HomePage.reg
