    If you do that you'll have people come once and hate you forever. Pop ups suck, don't use them.

    If you create a file on your desktop and call it launcher.js and then edit that file and paste in the code in my source section then run the script it should open the three links. By run the script I mean double click the file it should just run on Windows as it supports JScript through Wi.S.H.

    Depending on your default web browser and its 'instance' settings it may prevent 3 windows opening and force the pages into 3 tabs, there is no work around for that as far as I am aware apart from for firefox changing the setting in options that says "open new windows in new tabs instead" if that option is cleared in firefox then it should open 3 separate windows.

    I have not tested Internet Explorer.

    Source(s): //This will open all 3 in the one window of your default web browser var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); WshShell.Run("http://www.google.com");/ WshShell.Run("http://www.yahoo.com");/ WshShell.Run("http://www.msn.co.uk");/

    not actually testing this, but something like

    <html><head><title>My Favs</title>

    <script type="text/javascript">

    window.open("http://www.google.com");/

    window.open("http://www.amazon.com");/

    </script></head><body></body></html>

    should work
