Title:	Is it possible to have different home pages for each user ?
Body:	1. It's not basic (and I no longer think it's worth the effort). 2. Microsoft say it's impossible. 3. The fix requires hand-coding and for people to leave the home page alone. 4. Here's how. a. Create a default.htm with all the possible Doc Libraries; Announcements etc. etc. in the middle and all the possible Links groups on the right. You can do this doing the standard UI for amending the homepage. b. Copy default.htm and rename it PersLink1.htm c. Amend PersLink1.htm so that instead of the generated middle and right column xml code (and bots) you have only the xml code (no bots) for the few doc libraries / links etc. that you want. This code you copy from default.htm so that you get the right (long) codes for each Library/Link. You have to use the things you had in the middle column in the middle column of your new .htm and similar for the right column otherwise the code doesn't work. d. Repeat for PersLink2.htm; PersLink3.htm Restrictions Regenerating the default.htm page using the UI will probably change all the codes so you'll need to amend them in all PersLinkx.htm files. I.e. don't regenerate this page using the UI !! Any document links you add later with Quick Launch will not appear automatically in the Quick Launch section for PersLink2, PersLink3 etc. For some reason I can't understand they do occur in PerLink1.htm (as well as in default.htm) on my machine. These document libraries can be added in the same way to both the Quick Launch section and the middle or right sections for your individual pages using the code method above. Note: Although possible this needs manual work. My present site has subwebs (with different-looking default pages) for each small group of users, but with all users able to access all parts of the site. (Add hard links forward and back to all default.htm pages above the Quick Launch section) This seems to provide the necessary different home pages without the manual work and restrictions above.
