IE Keyboard shortcut (Anders Jacobsen's blog): "In addition a simple keyboard shortcut can be created for getting to Google or any favourite site in a few steps:
1 Go to the site for which you want a shortcut
2 Use File>Send>Shortcut to desktop
3 Locate shortcut on the desktop
4 Click on it with the right mouse button and select Properties
5 Assign whatever keyboard shortcut you want
e.g. I use Ctrl+Alt+g to get me to Google
This works for Windows98. I expect similar steps would work for other OS."
