Is there a way to customize the VS 2008 Start Page? I want to display a WebSite (a Sharepoint Site) instead of the News Feeds, but I can't find an solution for this.

You can edit the URL in registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0Exp\Configuration\StartPage
but it only takes in RSS feeds.
-
Tools -> Options-> Environment -> Startup
Change the drop down to Open Home Page...
Tools -> Options-> Environment -> Web Browser -> Web Page
Set your home page to whatever you want it to be...

"but it only takes in RSS feeds." <- sad but true... :(
Tools->Options-> Environment -> Start Up
Change the drop down to "Open Home Page".
Tools->Options-> Environment -> Web Page
Set your home page to whatever you want it to be.
This is what i currently do - but then you loose the Start Page with the recently Open Projects - would be nice if you can replace the Feed's with an HomePage - but it looks like it is impossible...
thx Guys

To summarize both @Khash and @JPunyons answers:
Visual Studio gives you the choice of showing a Start Page, which is based on an RSS feed or to show a Home Page, which can be any page on the internet. You can change which one is shown from
Tools / Options / Environments / Startup / At startupcombobox.If you choose the Start Page, you can modify the RSS feed from
Tools / Options / Environments / Startup / Start Page news channel.If you choose the Home Page, you can modify the URL from
Tools / Options / Environments / Web Browser / Home Page. -
If you're using Visual Studio 2008 Professional, you need to change the value of NewsChannel in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\StartPage.
