I am looking for a shareware application that I can add many(25) different url's and hit enter. The application will open a new browser window for each url.

I am on a dialup connection. This would be helpful as I can walk away and come back without waiting in front of the pc for all these pages loading.

Thanks all

You can just make a .bat file and put a shortcut to it on your desktop.
For example:

Webpages.bat......
@echo off

start IEXPLORE.EXE www.cnn.com

start IEXPLORE.EXE www.microsoft.com

start IEXPLORE.EXE www.bargainshare.com

I would suggest taking a look at Avant Browser it allows you to create groups of URLs and then oen all the links in a group. I switched fromIE a few months ago, and I really like some of its features.

Are you saying Harley to go to the Start......RUN...... type in...IEXPLORE.EXE www.bargainshare.com ?

I did that and a new browser window did open with that URL. Then I dragged the URL icon in the address box to the desktop. I have done this before to make shortcuts.

Now what do I do?
Do I just follow the above instructions as each browser window loads?
Then do I place all the shortcuts in a new folder?
Then is there a way to open all?

thanks

I am also now downloading the Avant

You start up notepad and enter in this:
CODE
@echo off

start IEXPLORE.EXE www.cnn.com

start IEXPLORE.EXE www.microsoft.com

start IEXPLORE.EXE www.bargainshare.com

You then save it as websites.bat (or whatever as long as it ends in .bat) on your harddisk in a directory of your choice.
You can then double click on it from the directory or create a shortcut to the file on your desktop and double click it from there.
You can add as many of the start statements in the file as you like. I just hope you have enough memory/horsepower to start 25 web browers at one time.

Thanks Harley for the detailed answer. I had no idea about needing the notepad :-)

I downloaded the Avant, am browsing now with it. I did notice I lost my Google toolbar.
avante.exe is using 21,000 k of memory, one browser opened now.

Harley, I have an AMD 2200+ chip with 1 gig of memory, hope that is enough horsepower :-) avante.exe is using 21,000 k of memory, one browser opened now.

What I might do is set this up before going to bed, then when I wake, all these web pages will be opened and ready for viewing, many are graphic heavy :-(
