Post subject: Really Simple TS + IE

I need the most simplest of configurations and every doc I have seen wants to reinvent the space shuttle rather than give me a unicycle.

I have a Win2003 Server with Terminal Services. When we connect with Remote Desktop Connector (Mac) and log in using our LDAP creditentials, we connect. I have GPO set so anyone who connects gets to see IE and nothing else (no start button or desktop). IE7 pops up and I want to force IE to go to 1 web page. I used GPO to turn off the address bar and such, I just can not find where to set the homepage for my marketing dept site.
When my users close IE, the session closes as I want. SO, no user profiles needed (or wanted), no roaming profiles, no folders or anything else added. Heck, I do not want any trace left behind (temp files are set to delete)

All this to ask where is the setting to force IE7 to 1 specific website for anyone logging into the server via RDC??

In case you have not caught what is going on here, this is our $4000 solution to have Internet Explorer 7 on a Macintosh to use 1 web interface that does not work on Firefox or Safari. (sigh)
Of course, if any one happens to know of a Macintosh application that would perfectly emulate IE7 (active-x pages) I would love to see that!

So the only thing you ant to do is to set the home page in IE, is that correct?
You can do that in a GPO:

User Configuration - Windows Settings - Internet Explorer Maintenance -
URLs - Important URLs - Home, Search & Online Support URLs

Or, as an alternative, run IE in Kiosk mode. You would have to learn your users to quit IE with Alt-F4, though.
