Making a Web Page Your Default Home Page |
| Setting any web page to be the page that first displays when you open your browser is quite simple: |
| |
|
Internet Explorer - Safari - Firefox |
|
Internet Explorer/Windows |
( we don't recommend IE for Macintosh - it is no longer available from Microsoft) [top] |
| 1. |
Navigate to the web page you want to use as the default home page for your browser. |
| |
|
| 2. |
From the Tools menu, select "Internet Options..." |
| |
 |
| |
|
|
|
| 3. |
In the top part of the "Internet Options" dialog window - the one labeled "Home Page" - on the "General" tab, you will see the URL of the page that was previously set to be your default page. Click on the "Use Current" button and the URL will change to the address of the page you currently have open (in our example, the Curry Intranet menu page). |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
|
|
|
| 4. |
Click on the "OK" button to return to the browser page. |
