Internet Explorer question

[jazz]

Hi, I am not sure if I have posted this question in the right spot, so
apologies if I have got it wrong! I wanted to know if it is possible to get
a particular web page (for which I have a shortcut on my desktop) to
automatically open at a certain time each day. For example, I want to
monitor cheap airfares that go on sale between certain hours each day. I
want to be reminded of this (apart from a pop up in calendar) by the page
opening up or some other method. Any suggestions? Thanks. Jazz.

jazz,
You did post in the wrong spot since this is an Office group. Your question
concerns IE and should be posted here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/community/default.mspx
If you have Outlook on your system you can use recurring appointments. Go to
tools/actions/new recurring appointment, set the recurrence options, click
ok, copy the url into the scheduled appointment. When you get the reminder at
the options you selected, open then click the pasted url to open IE.
