SUBBlime, for launching several web pages at once you'd be ahead to try a browser that supports tabbed browsing. Meaning it'll open several web pages at once. There's a lot of them out there but I use MyIE2 which you can get here:

http://www.myie2.com/html_en/download.htm

It's an IE shell which means it keeps the same settings, preferences, and favorites as IE so there's no importing anything. (it's also got a dandy popup stopper built in) I've got mine set to open 5 different IHub boards at startup. Actually, I've got it set to open all the windows I had open when I closed it. You could set it to open Freetrade and IHub.

Then, if you want to open one or more programs with it a batch file will do the trick. It's not perfect, for instance, I could open Alphatrade, but I couldn't open any subsequent applet windows.

For example, here's a batch file I put together to launch MyIE2 with my IHub boards, Opera browser with my charts, and MedVed Quote tracker. You'll notice I've got my programs loaded on my D: partition.

@ECHO Off
Start D:\Programs\Opera7.11\opera
Start D:\Programs\MyIE9.13\MyIE
Start D:\Programs\MedVed\Stocks

I saved the bold text in NotePad as "stocks.bat" and "all files" to my desktop. Just a double click on the icon launches all 3 at once.

If you think this looks interesting let me know.
