Hi,

Thanks for your response, this works for one particular url;

Is there a way to open up a specific url (a shortcut for internet explorer) every 10 minutes and alternate to another url for another 10 minutes?

Thanks

Not to offer the code but

A "batch file" or script could do that. However skills may be required and I can't teach those here. In short, you would use a script to launch your browser and then kill it then launch the next, sleep, etc.
Again I do not offer the code.
