Here's a handy web tip my girlfriend actually showed me:

Next time you are typing in a .com URL, just type the domain name in and press CTRL-ENTER. IE will automatically fill in the "http://www." and the ".com" for you!

  even better, get the "web accessories for IE". this says IE 5, but works fine for IE6. It adds a quick search applet, that lets you type "y search terms" and run a yahoo search. Google isn't included, but you can customize it easily to make "g search terms" search google. It rocks.
