If you are willing to play with the Windows Shell, you could probably get it to do what you want.

Something like this (starturl.vbs):
' Make sure that the URL to display is specified. Complain if not.
If WScript.Arguments.Count < 1 Then
  WScript.Echo "You must call the script with the name of the web page to display"
  WScript.Quit
End If

' Double quote the URL if it has spaces in it.
' (This is too stupid here to notice if the URL has double quotes in it already.)
url = WScript.Arguments.Item( 0 )
If InStr( url, " " ) Then
  url = """" & url & """"
End If

' Create the shell and start each browser to display the URL
Set Shell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
Shell.Run( """C:\Program Files\MultipleIEs\IE6\IEXPLORE.exe"" " & url, , False )
Shell.Run( """C:\Program Files\MultipleIEs\IE55\IEXPLORE.exe"" " & url, , False )
Shell.Run( """C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\mozilla.exe"" " & url, , False )

Hope this helps.
