Citrix 4.5 Internet Explorer displays Microsoft home page rather what GPO specifies

Tim Mesarch Our PS4.5 farm is comprised of Windows 2003 servers (SP2) running IE 6x. The group policy governing our Citrix servers specifies our firm’s home page. However, when users open IE for the first time in a session, they are redirected to Microsoft’s IE7 page. The home page is still correctly set, and subsequent uses of IE within the session will pull up the proper page, as will clicking on the home page button within the initial session.

There is probably is some sort of “first run” registry key that prompts the Microsft page rather than our firm’s page. However, I have been unable to find it. Does anyone have any idea what the first run setting is that prompts the Microsoft IE7 page? I’d like to zap it so that our users get the firm’s intranet page (which is right now designed for IE6) rather than being urged to upgrade to IE7.
