Shortcut question

I have 4 shortcuts for 4 different pages of MSE on my start menu, I can switch from one to another in no time at all.

Why not just use Firefox. Open as many tabs as you want showing whatever pages you want and go to Tools/Options and in the General tab under Home Page click on Use Current Pages. The Firefox shortcut then always opens these pages.
One shortcut, x number of web pages.

Or have I missed something in the OP?

I have 4 MSE pages that open when I open Firefox.

Yes, but he then posted this underneath as though he didn't get the gist of your post.

I dont mind lots of IE windows open so tabbed browsing is not important to me, its just there are 5 web sites I go to every day and it would be nice to hit one shortcut on the desktop to open all 5 rather than having to open IE then go to fav's and settect each site one at a time.

At the moment I have the five shortcuts saved to my desktop but I hate a cluttered desktop.

I'm using Firefox and one of the options is the ability to open all the bookmarks in a folder in one go.

So in my Bookmarks Toolbar I have a folder called "news" that has several different news websites in it. To open all of those websites all I have to do is right click on the folder called news and select the "open in tabs" options.

Voila all the websites open and no messy code needed and I can have different sets of websites open depending on my needs at the time

You can also just middle-click a folder (using your scroll wheel like a button) and that opens up everything in that folder.
