Question : Redirect all Websites Back to Homepage

I am looking for a way to redirect all websites to the homepage of a group of computers. The solution must be done on the local computer itself and can not involve purchasing any software. The computers use IE8 and XP SP3 if that helps. Any help would be great.

Thanks!

Answer : Redirect all Websites Back to Homepage

A proper solution would depend on the need - ie do you need a solution which the user cannot revert, do you want this to restrict all access or as a portal/passthrough etc.
However without that info I'd say the easiest way to do what you requested is to change the proxy settings on the browser to point to the server:port of the website you have in mind.

For example if I set my firefox proxy to www.google.com port 80, irrespective of what I type in the address bar I'd go to the google home page. But remember I can't even search for anything in google as the search results page would return me back to the home page.

in IE - go to tools - internet options - connection - LAN settings to modify the proxy. Not exactly sure about IE8 but must be something pretty similar.

HTH,
Arijit.
