You can do this by creating a .screenrc file (in your home
directory) with the necessary screen commands in it, so all the
windows are created automatically when a screen session is started.

For instance, these lines are taken from my .screenrc file:

screen -t mail  2       mutt
screen -t xt    21      su - root -c "xtail /var/log"
screen -t bbc   30      lynx http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low.html
screen -t irc   0       irc Mynick
