MSN Toolbar Shortcuts
on 12.14.04, 07:43am in microsoft • comments (3)
One tip from Brandon’s page that I’ve found particularly useful was info on adding deskbar shortcuts. So, from the deskbar I can search RSS feeds, NNTP groups, etc. The shortcuts are stored in MsnDeskbarShortcuts.ini which is located in \Documents and Settings\[YourName]\Application Data.
These are the shortcuts I’ve added so far:
gg=http://www.google.com/search?q=$w
ggr=http://groups.google.com/search?q=$w
rss=http://www.feedster.com/search.php?q=$w
kb=http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;$w
cmd==cmd
rl=http://411.com/search/Reverse_Phone?phone=$w

Can’t you already do this with IE?

Yup. Not sure about why it’s the rage, when IE’s been doing this forever (plus 0 footprint)
