Default how to change link behind IE button

I have noticed that the link/app behind the IE button on the iMate JASJAR has embedded the www.clubimate.com link and every time you click the button it tries to open up that site. I want to change that so that it acts like the IE icon does on the start menu so that the web page I have up does not get overwritten. The site is not the home page defined in IE because I have already changed that. I am guessing that they have it as a parameter passed on the command line in the button. The button applet does not even have that button as one that can be touched. Anyone know what part of the registry to look at?
Thanks
Joseph

Get a registry editor.

Go to - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\OEM\Keybd
Change the string called PieHomePage to the website address of your choice.

rilot, is there anyway to make the button NOT go to any website? I just want it to switch me back to PIE without changing the page I was browsing.

For example, I'm looking at a web page, and decide to go check my mail by hitting the messaging button - then viewing my mail. Then, when I press the Internet Explorer button I just want to go back to the same spot I left in the browser, not launch any page at all. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

For the MDA Pro from T-Mobile (Germany) the registry key is different:
\HKLM\software\HTC\PIEPlug\home

Default internet key

how to disable the key at all, or better to make it a "space" key?

It's just next to "space" in my T-Mobile MDA pro and I can't stand it goes on the net each time I press it by chance typing!!!
