Tip

Quicker IE address typing

I've been amazed at how often I use this simple tip, and how much easier and quicker it makes my Internet browsing.

In Internet Explorer, when typing in an address of the form "www.something.com," just type the "something" part in the address bar. Then press Ctrl-Enter and IE will automatically add the "www." to the front and the ".com" to the end of "something."
