Hello, I am trying to make some extra desktop shortcut's using IE7. I have 3
tab's that i would like to open. Using Firefox the syntax is to use
"-new-window" and the "|" between each URL. That would make Firefox open in a
new window with a tab for each URL. I can not seem to make IE7 work this way.
I have tryed using: -new, :, ;, -newtab, -tab, |, and a few others. -new does
open IE7 in a new window. Maybe IE7 is not ment to work this way. The default
IE7 desktop shortcut works fine with more then one tab.

The closest would be saving a Tab Group: IE7 Help | Tabbed browsing:
frequently asked questions | How do I save a group of tabs?

QED: Can you drag (or Send) the saved Tab Group to the desktop as a
shortcut?

I tryed saving as a group and sending to the desktop as shortcut but that
just gives you a folder view of whats inside the group. Thanks anyway.
Seems to be a shortfall of IE7 I guess. Guess I'll use firefox for
multi-tabbed internet desktop shortcuts.

Hello,

The Quero Launcher supports multi tab desktop shortctuts and allows you to
customize other window properties (like size and position) as well.

http://www.quero.at/launcher.php

Syntax examples:

qlaunch.exe open="url1|url2|etc"

Tabs are separated by "|"

You can also open multiple windows with qlaunch

qlaunch.exe open="url1" open="url2"

Best regards,

Viktor Krammer

Yes. The closest you can get to what you want but isn't very reliable
is to make a cmd file which starts in that directory and does this:

for %u in (*.URL) do "%u"


E.g. it certainly doesn't do what you might expect if you are offline
or not connected.... ; }


Good luck
