Schedule to open website

I'd like to open a website at regular intervals per day, i.e., the browser should open and automatically navigate towards a pre-set URL.

I looked at options like scheduling to open browser, but I can't figure out how to open it with a default URL. (No I do not want to make this my start page)

Any help is appreciated

3O.o Why? To me I would get annoyed at the self created pop-ups. – James Mertz – 2012-11-06T17:59:49.703

3I understand it gives off that sense. But the reason is, I need to be filling out certain webform once perday and I keep forgetting. Besides, it's a curiosity whether such a thing can be done. – None – 2012-11-06T18:01:31.263

Understandable. I just wasn't able to think of a use case that made sense to use this functionality. – James Mertz – 2012-11-06T18:02:59.913

You can make a batch script that starts the browser with the desired URL (for example "c:\program files\internet exploder\iexplore.exe 'http://www.yahoo.com'" would be valid for internet explorer to open and automatically navigate to www.yahoo.com).
You can then schedule that batch file to be run when you want it to.

Use Task Scheduler
Make it launch something like iexplore.exe "http://www.microsoft.com/windows" (replace with your browser's executable, such as firefox.exe etc.)
