This piqued my interest, and I have written a utility that will do it. Note:
I don't normally do that sort of thing - ie right the whole damn thing, but
it was a curiosity thing, to see whether it could be done, and I'll probably
find a use for it at some point.
It's a little "out-there" - basically it reads the internet explorer history
files, constructs a list of URLs, presents them in a drop down box, then
when selected, writes the URL to the appropriate registry value. It's a
WSH/vbscript utility, that actually uses (not that you'd recognise it,
though) IE as the component for the prompting / drop-down menu. It's with
the intention you mention - users not allowed access to internet options
(probably denied through policy settings), but still possible to update the
default page, to one of their choice (so long as it exists in their current
history), or about:blank.
If it's of any use, Mikael, give me a shout on Monday (going home now), and
I'll see if I can send you the code.
Neil
