If FileExists(@ProgramFilesDir & "\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe") Then

How can I make it send to the home page?

Yes i did a search!

What do you mean by "...send to the home page"?

Do you want to launch Internet Explorer (IE)?

Do you want to launch IE and navigate to a specific webpage?

[Bert]

run c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplorer.exe -new http:// "homepage"

homepage - whatever webpage you want

Another way is like this...

#include <Process.au3>
_RunDos("start Http://www.cnn.com")

[Andrew Sparkes]

Or if you wanted to do more with the browser, use Dale's IE Automation library:

#include <IE.au3>
$ie_browser=_IECreate()
_IENavigate($ie_browser,'http://www.google.com')

What I wanted to do is something like when I went to a certain page or pressed a certain button I would go back to my home page (I use IE) I don't want to change the H/P but just to go there

If you want an existing Internet Explorer to go to the home page, try the following:

#include <Constants.au3>
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", $OPT_MATCHANY)

$title = "Internet Explorer"
WinActivate($title)
WinWaitActive($title)
Send("!{Home}");Alt+Home

; Unfortunately, the following does NOT work with IE
WinMenuSelectItem($title,"","&View", "G&o To", "&Home Page")

Or with IE.au3

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IEAttach("Internet Explorer)
_IEAction($oIE, 'home')

You want a program to run in the background; waiting for you to press keys on the keyboard to take you to specific web pages.

Check out HotKeySet() in the AutoIT Help File.

this is a combination of most of the suggestions....

however... i am now getting an ERROR reading IE.au3???

; Press Esc to terminate script, Pause/Break to "pause"

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <IE.au3>

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("{F9}", "Homepage")  

;;;; Body of program would go here;;;;
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
;;;;;;;;

Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
        sleep(100)
        ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

Func Homepage()
    $oIE = _IEAttach("Internet Explorer")
    _IEAction($oIE, 'home')
    Sleep(2000)
    _IEQuit($oIE);  
EndFunc
