No way... you can "ASK" them to set their homepage by clicking ok when the
setHomePage method throws the confirmation box up, but you can not force
them. Additionally, that functionality only works in IE I think...

Thanks Michael,

That opens up a new perspective.
Now, one thing that the page being called after reboot is started
automatically.
I would have to put it in the Startup Page of their browser, copy the old
one first, start up browser and then after the page has been called put back
the old startpage.
Can that be done ?

  How about on the page that presents the download you give  a popup window
in
  German (or another non English language... the intent here is deceive)
that
  when they respond to you add the current URL with ID in it inside their
  favorites and make it their homepage so next time they launch their
browser,
  you have their ID and they are at the URL you need them to be at!!!

  :-)

  Can be done, although snall problem then :
  The ID comes from the atabase, the downloaded file is a zip-file, means
  unzip, run, reboot.

  If I only could make the following download.zip?ID=5656565 with the
  zip-file....

    could the first download place a copy of the text file that is looked
for
    when the user logs back in?

    Writing to a text file is another download, can only be one download (to
    keep it simple for the user)

      what about having the program write to a text file on the client
  machine,
      then when the user comes back up, read from that text file.

  this.

      cfregistry writes to the server's registry, not the client's.
