How to open a specific set of webpages when you start your Chrome browser.

I have found myself visiting the same webpages everytime I open my browser. This is a way you can save time by having them automatically open when you start your browser. Here are the steps for using CHROME browser. For example, I want Infinite Campus, Barret Website & Clever to open each time you open your browser.

First, open chrome and, on seperate tabs, visit the webpages you want to open automatically when you start your browser. Then, click Chrome menu button, three horizontal bars) in the upper right hand corner and select "Settings" from the drop down menu.

Next, the Settings screen opens on a new tab. In the 'startup' tab, select the "Open specific page or set of pages" option. Click "Use current pages"

NOTE: To remove a webpage from the list, move the mouse over the three vertical dots next to the webpage and click the remove button
