type this in command prompt: start "www.google.com"
does it open up the FF browser and load google.com??
there is 2 options i can think at the moment: 1. the above batch using vbs to pause for certain seconds 2. start->controlpanel->scheduled task (i can't test this out in my pc, something is wrong that i cannot create new schedule task)

As per usual start will open the default program for the content you set it. If the default browser is IE then "start www.google.com" will start in IE, same goes for ff. As above you can specify the program to override the default behaviour by specifying a program, i.e. "start firefox www.google.com".
If you really wanted to be pedantic about the addressing you could always specify "http://www.google.com/index.html".
