discovery

I've just discovered that pressing Ctl D adds whatever web page you are browsing to your favourites. This clue is not shown in the menus? or am I missing something. I have IE 6.

Do you know that if you have a url with a .com you can just type in the middle bit, e.g. "Pistonheads" and IE will do the www and .com bit for you if you hit Ctrl + Enter?

and if your pc is on a .com domain, you can just type in the www.pistonheads bit and merely hit enter and it'll sort itself out eventually.

I find the auto-complete very useful. For exmaple, you type in 'www.pis' and IE fills in the rest for you, based on your history. Mozilla does this as well.

If you search IE help for Shortcuts then they all become clear...

I keep my top 8 or so favourites on the toolbar at the top, just a single click required. However the PH button is getting a bit worn out

Even quicker way for .com addresses that are not in your favourites: Just type the site eg 'pistonheads' and hit ctrl+enter, explorer automatically adds the 'www' and '.com' parts and loads the site.

Do keep up!!!!


Also, while we're on the handy tips, I find it really useful to have the Google toolbar installed
