Is there a way to open multiple browser tabs with one click from the taskbar?

So I know you can "install" a website as an app and pin it to the taskbar—pretty handy for things like Gmail or Outlook. But what if I want to open, say, 5 specific tabs all at once with a single click?

I'm talking about opening a set of pages I use every day—work dashboard, email, calendar, project management tool, maybe a reference doc—all in one go. Instead of manually opening each one or relying on browser "startup pages," I'd love a taskbar shortcut that just fires them all up at the same time.

I feel like there has to be a way to do this, but I haven't found anything obvious. Is this something that's possible natively in Windows? Or would I need a third-party tool?

For context:

I'm on Windows 11

Mainly using Edge (but open to Chrome if that makes a difference)

Not looking for a browser extension that reopens tabs on launch—I want a taskbar shortcut I can click anytime

Anyone figured out a clean way to do this? Would love to hear what's worked for you.

Thanks!

    Clicking that icon will launch Edge and open all your key pages at once. For a fully native solution.

  • You can adapt the script. Just use start chrome URL or start firefox URL instead of the microsoft-edge: command . (Make sure your browser is installed in the default location).
