The – shortcut to a batch file – idea works great with XP …
The first line of the batch file should be:
@echo off
The shortcut to the batch file should run minimized so the dos screen doesn't pop up.
It really works well … faster than opening IE and selecting favorites.
Thanks for the help,
BCRock

True. The command line option still works. You could create a shortcut to a batch file that contains the following line: start /max http://www.cnn.com This will open your default browser to the site already maximized.

At least with Windows XP, you don’t have those property options when modifying a url shortcut.

You don’t need a start.exe

It is an part of the shell just like dir
