Internet Explorer Start Pages

Create the short-cut to the desk top
Open IE and select Tools,then select internet options,select the General tab, in Home Page box,you can type in the address that of the home page, you want to set as the home page for the Browser,click apply and OK

First, make sure that all of the web sites that you want shortcuts to are in your favorites.

Set your home page to blank.

Using Windows Explorer, go to the favorites folder.

Right click on each site that you want on the desktop,
select: send to, desktop (create shortcut).

You can have as many links as you have desktop space for.

The easy way is to drag the icon in the address box to the desktop. It will automatically create a shortcut.
Or Right click the desktop and choose New Shortcut and enter the URL in the entry box.

This question is in good hands as answers 2 and 3 are correct. Just to elaborate, you can only have one "home page". While you can create shortcuts to any web site on the desktop so that IE opens up right to that site. But if you navigate around,then click on the Home button, you will be taken to whatever is set as your home page under Tools, Internet Options, General, NOT to the site that the shortcut opens from your desktop.
