I'm assuming you want a button on the taskbar that opens the specific site. One way is to create a shortcut to the site on the desktop, then drag it to the taskbar.

Otherwise, you can pin a site to the jump list in IE8. Launch IE8 and rightclick on the taskbar icon. It will pop up a list of recently opened sites. Move your mouse over the one you want, and click the push pin button shown on the right. Then the site will always appear when you rightclick on the taskbar button and you can directly open it. (You'll have to have opened the site previously at least once in IE for this to work).

Edit: This answer is meant for Notepad and text files, but illustrates the problem correctly. Reassociate the .url extension with IE and then it should show up in the jump list.
