I love IE since 4.01 for one big reason… you don’t need to execute the application as you need to do with any other browser…
Just open any folder from the desktop (My Computer, recycle bin, network neighbourhood and anything else), type the url and press enter and you got the site…
Shivaranjan,
Excellent blank page shortcut.
I’ll buy you a beer if you can make the
shortcut go one step further…
Is there a way to open to the blank page and drop the
cursor in the address bar?
