Automated Internet Browsing Macros?

I would like to create and run a browser "macro" where a half-dozen Internet sessions are opened simultaneously, automatically logging me on to my credit card account, bank account, brokerage, airmile balance pages, utility bill(s) etc. so they are all opened at once with all the balances displayed as I move from window to window. I am getting tired of bookmarking, logging in and navigating to the balance page(s) one at a time.

Is there anyway I can turn on a "record macro" for the whole computer (or browser), walk through the process manually of opening and logging on to different sites in turn, then capping, naming and saving the macro to be run automatically next time?

you can make a batch file, each line opens a new browser at the page specified

start " " "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe" "http://www.theregister.co.uk"

[Note all this is on one line] create in notepad and save will the file extension .bat

You can either click on it or type the filename and path in the run command line.

The only thing this will not do is pass on the password !

You can d/l Crazy Browser. It can open different sites in tabs, like the Worksheets in Excel. And you can save the sites you prefer in a "Group" so all can be opened at once.
The automatice inloggin however may be harder to accomplish. It depends on if the sites allow it.
