GPP to Set IE8 Home Page but also allow users to override it

just wondering if can shed little light on me.  in past have used gpo force users our intranet home page in ie.  today tried removing setting gpo , instead added gpp ie8 set home page.  checked "apply once..." box.

but now, when display settings in policy object, down in gpp area, can see ie8 settings ... ... setting home page found.

after rebooting, allow new settings take hold on pc, intranet home page gone , got default msn 1 microsoft instead.

i've never worked gpps before.  mean have configured wrong?  or mean can't set home page using gpp? 

i set our intranet default home page users, can override else if prefer.

hello frosticle,
