You can simply create a .bat file with 5 commands similar to:

explorer [the web page]

For example if you want to open a window with yahoo, and one with tom's hardware you would write in the same .bat file

explorer http://www.yahoo.com
explorer http://www.tomshardware.com

In ancient times they had no statistics so they had to fall back on lies

Get Mozilla Firebird which supports tab browsing by default. In your homepage, put | (pipes) between your homepages. For example,

http://www.yahoo.com | http://www.tomshardware.com

You should get getting off IE anyways since it has way too many security holes..

or you can get <A HREF="http://www.crazybrowser.com" target="_new">Crazybrowser</A> which has groups - where you can save a bunch of pages as a group. You can specify which group to open automatically on startup. Cool browser. Also has builtin popup suppression. I won't use anything else these days.
