Stage 4: Customize the welcome message and desktop wallpaper

Internet Explorer displays a welcome page when the browser is first started. You can display the default Internet Explorer welcome page, or you can specify the URL of your own custom welcome page. The welcome page is not the same as the home page, which is the page that opens when you start your browser after the first time and when the user clicks the Home button.

If the user installs the Windows Desktop Update, an Internet Explorer welcome message will appear by default on the user's desktop. You can specify whether this message is displayed.

Display default Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 welcome page
Select this option to display the default Internet Explorer welcome page.

Do not display a welcome page
Select this option if you don't want to display a welcome page. The first page that is displayed will be the home page.

Use a custom welcome page
Select this option if you want to use a custom welcome page, and then type the URL in the box below.

Path of custom desktop wallpaper file
You can customize the users' desktop by specifying a .bmp, .gif, or .htm file. Later in this stage, you'll have the option of importing your desktop settings. The file you specify here will be displayed on users' desktops, even if you import your settings, and your settings are different. The file you specify here cannot have the same name as the wallpaper currently on the users' desktops.
