Copyright 2006 Mark Meshulam Every time you open your browser, it automatically opens to a particular web page. This is called your home page. You can change your home page so that you see what you want to see when your browser opens. In future articles I will show you how to easily make a "Resource Website" for your company which can be hosted on your own computer or on your network, and which can provide valuable current information to your employees. The value of setting a browser home page to this resource site, is that your co-workers can have the latest company information on their screen just by starting their browser. It can contain links, images, and downloads just like a web-based site. This is a great place to store links to all of your latest forms, vendor and customer lists, project numbers and descriptions, project tracking status, insurance coverages and many more essential documents. And you can do it yourself! First, let's set the browser. I will show this process for two browsers: Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Other browsers should configure similarly. How To… Set your browser home page to an Internal Resource Website For Internet Explorer Start Button / Control Panel / Internet Options / General Tab I will use an example link which goes to a file located on the G drive of a network, in the folder "Forms", subfolder "BA-internal-website". The home page of the website is named "BA-home.htm" Here is what the "internal" link looks like: file:///G:/FORMS/BA-internal-website/BA-home.htm You can find the exact link by opening your browser, clicking File/Open File, and browsing to your resource page file. It must be an HTML file. If it opens in your browser, first bookmark it for future use, then right click/copy it. This internal link is a valid browser link just like the typical "http://www...." links you are familiar with. Paste the link where it says "Address:" Click "Accept", then click "OK" You must close and reopen Internet Explorer in order for settings to take place. For Mozilla Firefox: Open Mozilla Firefox At the top of the page click: Tools / Options / General Paste the link where it says "Location(s):" Click "OK" You must close and reopen Moxilla Firefox in order for settings to take place. Now, every time you open your browser, your internal resource website will appear on the screen. Next chapter: how to easily build the site. View all Mark Meshulam's articles About the Author: |
