Internet Explorer 9 has many command line switches that can be used with the installer. To use the switch, you need to run the setup program in the command prompt (cmd.exe) in the following format (using Windows 7 as an example):
IE9-Windows7-86-enu.exe [switch1] [switch2] ...

When doing our K2000 deployments, one of our sites asked us if we could do some customizations like default home page and stopping the run once screen in IE 9.  The issue we have is that we do not do an image capture from a gold image.  We use scripted installs because that is prefered in our enviroment.  Because of this we lose the ability to easily customize the Default User profile which would enable us to do things like set a default home page or other settings.

The way we get around this is with the built in REG command in Windows.  We load the default user profile registry, insert or update the registry keys we want then unload the default user profile (**Warning, do not forget to unload the default user registry if you modify the commands below)

Below are the lines for a batch file that you can use to modify the IE9 settings

• Default webpage set to http://myintranet.mysite.com
• Show the IE toolbar
• Turn off Update checks
• Disable the "first run - Your browser has been Upgraded" tab
• Disable run once selection
• Disable the Tour IE wizard
