In Google chrome :

The answer to the question is No ! you can not use the home page to open multiple windows in Google chrome as in FF (Firefox can open multiple homepages. Divide them by a | sign).

You can have multiple pages open on startup, but you can't have more than one page open when you click the Home button.

But there is a work around....

Just paste following javascript into the "Home Page" pref field (under your Chrome options) and it works as expected when clicking the "Home" button :

javascript:(function(){ window.location.href='http://www.google.com/'; window.open('http://www.yahoo.com/'); window.open('http://www.stackoverflow.com/'); })();

thus you can add as many URLs as you want.

In Internet Explorer:

Yes, you can do that using below :

@ECHO off
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /v "Start Page" /t REG_SZ /d "http://www.google.com" /f
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /v "Secondary Start Pages" /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "http://www.stackoverflow.com\0http://www.superuser.com\0" /f
