thank you much.
that link is what i'm looking for. but, when i have two websites like this:

http://website1.com

http://website2.com

then i doesn't work
how do i tell it to open two tabs?
thanks.

Piece this one, note make sure to read the whole link as the very first code opens up 2 Windows, not tabs.

thanks much.
unfortunately none of those worked the way i wanted.
the first link by drbob put me on the right track though.
in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\" & _
"Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page
there are two entries:
one is start page the other one is secondary pages
i had to do this to update machines nightly:

changeHomePage  "[URL unfurl="true"]http://website1"[/URL]  
changeHomePage2 "[URL unfurl="true"]http://website2"[/URL] 

    Sub changeHomePage(byval URL)	
 	set objShell=Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
 	objShell.RegWrite "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\" & _
 			   "Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page", URL, "REG_SZ"
     end sub 

     Sub changeHomePage2(byval URL)	
 	set objShell=Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
 	objShell.RegWrite "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\" & _
 			   "Internet Explorer\Main\Secondary Start Pages", URL, "REG_SZ"
     end sub

it worked perfectly
thanks again
