setting some page as homepage...

Question

Is there any chance to forcible set some page as a homepage??

I mean without any user notification or confirmation...

Answer 1

No, there isn't, and thank God for that.

Seriously, have you thought through the consequences? Every web site could set their users' home pages to their hearts' content.

Answer 2

Even if it's possible, I doubt many SO users are going to rush to tell you how. This is extremely intrusive and abusive behavior.

If I knew how, I wouldn't tell you. This is something that just should not be done.

Answer 3

No. You cannot do this, and should not be able to do this as it is unethical to change a user's preferences without notifying him or her.

Here is a good example of how to do it with notification, however: http://javascript.internet.com/page-details/set-homepage-link.html

There's also the chance that you're interested in doing this for legitimate reasons, i.e. a corporate deployment script or some such. You can look into ways of doing it across an entire Active Directory using Group Policies and deployment scripts.
