Window's shortcuts
Permalink  

I'm putting a shortcut on my desktop for a website. My default browser is Firefox, but I need to be in Explorer for this site. Does anyone know how I can get this shortcut to automatically open up in Explorer?

I don't think you can if Firefox is set as your default browser.

You could . . . just make a shortcut to Internet Explorer and then set Explorer's home page to that site.

Hey while we are at it, does anyone have any favorite windows shortcuts as far as keystrokes go? Are these called macros? Like CNTL + V = paste. Anyone have a list of these??

JD - control + (insert your favorite here) are not macros, they are indeed shortcuts. Macros are usually things you set to your F series buttons. I used to have my login to the accounting software set by macro. It was just a laziness thing.


I mostly use control + x, control + c and control + v (cut, copy, paste). Then control + n, control + o, control + p and control + s (new, open, print, save). If I need to deal with words I occasionally use control + b and control + i (bold, italic). There are always the odd ones of control + f and control + h (find, replace). They are pretty much my standards.

do you guys know the alt + tab trick.


It's my fav. it switches from program to program and if you go alt + shift + tab it goes in reverse order.


try it.


its a great trick to hide the forum when someone is at your desk!

I love screen short cuts. I'm very anti-mouse. I work in the MS programs all day long, using the mouse takes so much more time. When you're in Powerpoint, Excel or Word, words on the main menu bar all have a single letter underlined. Using the alt key plus that letter opens the menu, from there it's just selecting other underlined letters to get deeper into the menu. Before you know it, you have long alt+letter sequences memorized and your carpal tunnel syndrome is dissapating!

I can view FFR in Firefox just fine. One of the software programs I use at work is switching over to online only. So, my shortcut on my desktop would no longer take me to the right place, and of course, their software only works with IE.

Unless there is something else I don't know . . . If that one site is all you want to view in IE, why not just make a regular shortcut to IE and make that site IE's home page?

There's two sites that I have to view in IE. I already set the other as my home page, and I use the other more. I just deleted my convenient shortcut and bookmarked it. I'll have to live with that.

Gottcha - I understand now.

I thought there might be a command line switch to tell it what page to go to on startup, but it doesn't look like it. Sorry

But I move my mouse all day. I would never get anything done if I had to constantly reboot.

I like it WebGuy!
 
It does seem that there are days when every move forces a reboot.

Another Windows shortcut - hire someone to clean them for you.
