Start IE7 without opening Home Page(s)

I like being able to set multiple tabs as home pages; I have a bunch set.

Alas, sometimes I would like to start IE without opening all those "home"
tabs.

The only way I have found is to open a Windows Explorer page that has
"favorites" and select one.
Is there an easier way?

Under XP, if that makes any difference.

Make a shortcut to c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe with an
argument of "about:blank". Should open that instead of your home page.

Perfect. Thank you. I "knew" there was a simple solution!
