[geeks] setting browser default home page

[Edward Chase]

A web portal site that we had a relationship with closed up last week and 
due to a promotion they did on campus last week there are potentially 
hundreds of students whose browsers are set to their site as the default 
home page.

I had gotten several phone calls w/ students complaining that "the internet 
is down".  I now have a web redirection going at our firewall.  Any web 
request to their site is redirected to an internal web page that displays a 
letter from the company explaining their shutdown.  What I'd like to 
include on that page is a "Click here to change your default homepage to 
www.providence.edu"

Can this be done in JavaScript?  I'm looking around for a script, but am 
having troubles finding anything like this.
