Automation - CPL file

Hi,

I'd like to know if there's a way to create a vb script to launch and CPL
file and set some values.

For example, %windir%\system32\inetcpl.cpl file (this file brings up IE
"Internet Options" dialog) and I'd like to set some values on the dialog,
e.g. "home page address" on the "General" tab, "customs level" on "security"
tab, edit "web sites" list on "privacy" tab, etc. etc. etc.

Is it doable in vb script? If yes, how to? If no, any other way to
approach this?

Please advice, thanks!

That sounds like a hard way to go. This link may help.
