Re: Two IE icons and Some Tricks

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



You can make shortcuts to anyplace the Control Panel has applets for and
many others in windows, and use them in the run box or the address bar run
box described below here, and you can get about 2000 icons from the windows
folders as well, download folders and zip files, (a different thing) but
one convenient way to use XP is to right click task bar>toolbars, and what
you get if you slide the seam by Address in the task bar is an address bar
that nearly always doubles as a run box. It saves time and key strokes. If
you like icons you can add favicon.ico to many urls and either pull the
little favicon off, change name and give it a house in a common folder and
you'll be able to use it in the change icon dialogue box or sometimes you
have tosuspenders snap the little "e" at the upper left hand corner of the
browser window (2-3 times before dragging to desktop) to get it to come to
the desktop when the favicon won't budge,

Best,
