Do you hate about:blank?
I hate it. I really really do (I don't care if you use FireFox, I don't). Especially when you click the address bar and it doesn't select all the text so you can just type. It's really irritating and wastes at least five minutes in an average work day. Ok, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration.
I recently just set up a quick launch for IE because I've been doing a lot of web work lately, so I did some proper googling and found a way to rid yourself of this irritation: the -nohome switch.
Create a new shortcut and add this target:
"%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome
I can't believe I didn't know about this one. It's a keeper.
