(Pardon the repost... MS newsgroups don't seem to be working)

I don't recall what this is called and haven't had any luck searching in
Google...

Basically, you can enter a few letters in the address bar and IE will
automatically figure out what page you want.

Some examples:

g - Takes you to Google
wm - Takes you to your web mail
ms - Takes you to http://microsoft.com

etc...

Can someone point me in the right direction for adding custom shortcuts like
these?

Thanks!!!

Hi Calab,

This is mine

http://www.iecustomizer.com/?url=IESearchURLs_Download.asp

The Yahoo Toolbar has a similar tool, but it hijacks the built-in IE tool.

They are called SearchURLs, aka Address Bar shortcuts.

Regards.
