How To Open Edge To Specific Webpages

By Jim Hillier / 06/03/2021 / 4 Comments / Browser, How-To

One of our readers contacted us via the Ask an Expert! link included in the main menu across the top of the page wanting to know how to set up Edge so it opens to multiple specific web pages.

We were only too happy to help out. Here’s how.

Opening Edge To Specific Webpages

Click on the three little horizontal dots at the far right of the address bar in Edge to open the options menu, then click Settings
In Settings, click On startup in the left-hand panel
Now you will see the option to Open a specific page or pages, make sure that option is enabled
From there, you can now add in as many new pages as you like by clicking on the Add a new page button and then typing (or copying and pasting) each page’s URL into a dialogue box, one at a time

This is fine if you only want to add one or two pages but becomes a tad tiresome if you want to add a lot more pages. However, there is a simpler option to achieve this in one hit.

Opening Edge To Multiple Specific Webpages

Firstly, load all the web pages you want opening when Edge starts up, each in a new tab
Then follow all the same steps as above — go to Settings > On startup and make sure the option to Open a specific page or pages is enabled
But, this time, click the Use all open tabs button

That’s all there is to it… job done.

Alternatively you can create a simple batch file to open what sites you want, when you want. Create a notepad file substuting the sites that you want to use like this:
@echo off
https://davescomputertips.com/
start https://reddit.com
start https://www.ferndale-plymouth.org
start https://facebook.com
start https://wincustomize.com

Save it as shortcuts.bat
Now just click on the file to open your default browser on the sites you chose.
