Course if you want to do it from code all IE settings are kept in the 
Registry.
 Look up the following keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

Here's a script that should change IE's starting page.
With all the caveats about changing registry and backup and differing OS 
etc.
This can also be handy for those little gremlins that snaffle your home 
page by overwriting your registry.

Dim Shell as object
Set Shell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
HomePage = "Insert A Web Address Here"
Shell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start 
Page",HomePage
