Locking Netscape 7.0 HomePage

I'm putting together a Netscape 7.0 installer package through the CCK and need to be able to lock down some preferences. Namely, the homepage among others. I used to be able to do this under 4.77 using the MCD, how is this accomplished through Netscape 7.0?

 

Welcome to the Forum, staceyt!

Hi Stacey,

This information from Antony Shen:

"To set up default homepage for each Netscape 7 profile is easy, however I am not sure if you can lock it like the way we could in Netscape 4.xx.

NOTE: it would only effect to every new profile created, old profiles will not be effected.

Method 1:
Open C:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape 7\defaults\pref\all-ns.js with your plain text editor, then edit
Code:

Code:

user_pref( "browser.startup.homepage ",
  "chrome://navigator-region/locale/region.properties ");

to something like
Code:

Code:

user_pref( "browser.startup.homepage ", 
 "http://www.windowsbbs.com/ ");

Method 2:
Using CCK tool (recommended)
Please go to Netscape Client Customisation Kit page
(Please do read the page, not just download the files directly from the FTP server, unlike others would recommend you so.) "

HTH,

Ramona

 

I'm able to set the default homepage with no problems, it's being able to lock out changes to it by a normal user that I'm attempting to accomplish. Anyone have any ideas in that area?
