One other thing that you could do is to go to your bank's website in
Money. Then Favorites-> AddToFavorites. Thereafter you could go to
your bank's website via Favorites-> FavoriteWebSites-> yourBank. I
understand this is not what you were hoping for.

That was the part that I was referring to which I said "You cannot
do ...". The rest was intended to describe what you *can* do that
most closely approached what you were describing. It does not
closely approach what you were describing. It is what is available.
What it could do is to help Money open just a little more quickly
and let you get to the accounts a little more quickly.

Now what could more closely approach what you describe is to put a
shortcut to the bank's website on your desktop or elsewhere. Click
that open, and IE opens to your bank's website. Then from you bank's
website, you may be able open an OFX or QIF statement, which should
in turn open Money 2005 for processing the statement.

Money 2005 is the latest UK version of Money. The later North
American versions also do not have any settings to do what you
describe.

Default Re: Changing the default website in Money 2005

Thanks Cal,
That's what I suspected. The suggestions you have made relate to the main
"Greeting" Home Page when you open the application but I wanted the programe
to default to my Banks website when you click on the "Banking" tab on the
toolbar which runs across the top of the page i.e. "Home" "Accounts" "Bills"
"Reports" -----"Banking"
I found a couple of likely looking keys in the Registry but these only has a
1 or 0 value and did not have the previous MSN Money url so could not be
changed.
Is this possible in later versions of Money?

You cannot do what you describe.

You can have Money open to the AccountList.
Tools-> Settings-> ProgramSettings-> (DisplayStartMoneyWithThisPageOpen:AccountList

You can add a Shortcut icon at the top to get to an account register
from the bank from any page. From there you can ConnectToBank.

Default Changing the default website in Money 2005

Is it possible to change the default website when you click on the Banking
Tab of Money 2005 from the current MSN
Money(http://money.uk.msn.com/banking/default.aspx)
I would like my own financial institution homepage to dispaly when I click
this tab. That way Money is fully integrated with my Bank so I can browse
their website and download financial statements without leaving Money.
I can access the banks website from the favourites menu but cant find a
setting to save it as a default home page (Not the Money homepage when you
first launch Money)
Is this a registry setting?
