I'd like a little program which activates when you use IE which will automatically open several different (specified) web pages when you click on the IE icon. The program could sit in a toolbar, and would allow you to specify which websites you want to automatically open up when you use IE. But you would have the option to disable it.

I often check the same few sites on a regular basis like Celebdaq, BBC new, cableforum, hotmail and sometimes forget to check one of them.

I am aware that one of the other browsers aleady has this feature, but a Windows/IE one would be nice.
