I remember a long time ago, I saw some description on how to create shortcut
keywords for IE. E.g. typing "goo" in the address bar would expands to
http://www.google.com.

If this is still possible, please point me to the instructions. Thanks.

Using the Google Toolbar, you may set your search functionality to search from
your Browser's address window.
<http://toolbar.google.com/>

Nice tweak, though.

Is Google toolbar installed, Larry?
When I boot up my system, is there a key combination like "WINKEY + E" that
starts Internet Explorer?

Use the IE5 Web Accessory Quick Search.exe for this.
It still works fine under IE6.

That depends on what you have in your Start menu. <eg>

For example, I have Internet Explorer in my Start menu
and it is the only thing in there which starts with I (capital i).
Therefore I can launch it simply by pressing Win and i


Alternatively, what I have done in other partitions is create a Desktop
shortcut to About:Blank and given it a keyboard shortcut of Ctrl-Alt-1

Peter this solved my problem

To start IE I had to click START right click IE click Properties under the
Short tab notice the status of Shortcut Key (In my case the dialogue box
showed NONE) I pressed the Ctrl key and the dialogue box switched to Ctrl +
Alt + (prompting me to assign it a letter) After doing so I clicked
Apply then OK and was off and running

The WINDOWS key + E that is supposed to open Explorer didn't work for my
laptop.
