possible suggestion for IE ... ?

It would be great if we could have the option to have x number of windows
opened in IE upon opening. When I open IE there is always just one instance
of IE running. I usually go to two of three sites when I first open IE and
it would be great if that were an option - having, say, two or three
instances of IE opened, ready and waiting.

Just a thought. Thanks, DH

BTW, I had the IE8 beta 2 installed but removed it because of visual
problems with McAfee. I'm running IE7 and will install IE8 when it is out
of beta.

Why not use tabs? You can set multiple home pages, and when you open IE it
will load each of them into a tab within the one IE instance.

Look in the Help menu for Tab Groups.

I simply added 'about:blank' on three separate lines in Tools \ Internet
Options \ Home Page ... couldn't have been easier.
