Found this trick at macosxhints and it works great! For everyone who want a group of tabs to open at startup, here ya go!<br><br>First:<br>Download and install GUI Scripting from Apple<br><br>Second:<br>Go into the "Universal Acccess Prefs Pane" and click the "Enable access for assistive devices" button by clicking it (should be the middle checkbox at the bottom of the pane)<br><br>Third:<br>Launch Applescript Editor and copy the bolded text script below into the edit area. Replace the URLs I have listed with whatever ones you want. If you want more, simply copy the "my new_tab()" line and the "set the URL of document 1 to"http://www.xxxxxx.com" line and paste below the last one.<br>The tabs in Safari open in the order you type them in the script, so the last web site in the script will be the active tab when Safari Launches.<br><br><br>tell application "Safari"<br> activate<br> set the URL of document 1 to "http://www.maccentral.com"<br> my new_tab()<br> set the URL of document 1 to "http://www.macminute.com"<br> my new_tab()<br> set the URL of document 1 to "http://www.macupdate.com"<br>end tell<br>on new_tab()<br> tell application "Safari" to activate<br> tell application "System Events"<br> tell process "Safari"<br> click menu item "New Tab" of menu "File" of menu bar 1<br> end tell<br> end tell<br>end new_tab<br><br><br>Fourth:<br>Save the script as an "Run Only" script under the file menu of script editor, with the "Format" set as "Application" and check the "Never Show Startup Screen" button.<br><br>Fifth:<br>Save the script wherever you want (I have mine in my Documents Folder). Now copy and paste the Safari icon via "Get Info" method onto the script (so it looks like the script is Safari). Now, put the script with the Safari icon into your dock for easy launching. (You could put it on your desktop or wherever else you launch Safari from, it doesn't matter).<br><br>Sixth:<br>Now, whenever you open the script, it will automatically launch Safari and open all the web pages you listed in the script into it's own tab. COOL!!!<br><br><br>Click here to visit me.

I should mention that the only down side to this is that it takes a second or two longer to launch Safari because the script has to launch first... but to me, it's worth the extra second or two!<br><br><br>Click here to visit me.

Sweet! Thanks Giz!<br><br>

Am I missing something? Why do you "start-up" Safari more then once a week?<br><br><br><br><br>

Here is what i want....there should be single click shortcuts in the Safari toolbar like Camino....where you can load a whole bunch of tabs at once with a single click, without having to drop a menu first. <br><br><br><br>

You can... just Command (Apple)-Click on a folder full of bookmarks to launch them all in their own tab. No need to go into the list and select "open in tabs."<br><br><br>Click here to visit me.

Ahh...sweet. I am a very lazy man. <br><br>

I agree..I keep Safari running all the time so no need for doing all that.<br><br>

i don't tend to have to start up safari as i never shut it down, but the few extra seconds it takes to start up could easily be spent command-clicking on a folder in the toolbar...plus, if i just want a quick browser screen, why have it open in tabs if i just need one window to look up something quickly? it's a neat script and i love the stuff of macosxhints, but sometimes i find myself doing a hint that isn't really saving me time or energy (e.g., sorta like using a coupon at the store to save money on an item i don't really need). <br><br>[color:blue] -sean</font color=blue>

I'll wait til Apple implements this feature in Safari. For the measly extra second it takes to click my tab set of favorite sites, just not worth it to me. <br><br>
