Each window contains its own copy of Internet Explorer and can be initialised with its own home page. This means that if you have several pages you have to view each morning, you can start them all from just one program!

Each window can also be set to refresh automatically, so that the latest version of the page is always available.

Registering the Program is free and is needed, if you want to open more than four windows and use the Automatic Refresh.
