in batch file: {

@echo off
c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexlore www.microsoft.com
c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexlore www.microsoft.com
c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexlore www.microsoft.com
exit

}
change www.microsoft.com to whatever you want
that wasnt so hard was it.
Just in case you dont know how to make a batch file in xp:
1. open notepad
2. type out file
3. go 'save as...', then 'files of type: all files' and call it "whateva.bat" (make sure to include the speech marks)

use quotes:

"c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" www.yourpage.com

or use short file names:

c:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe www.yourpage.com
