Here's something else that might be worth sharing, though. In order to cut the number of clicks needed to visit my favorite bookmarked sites down from two to one, I slapped together this start page for IE. I also inserted all the search functions of handy sites like eBay and Google, and remarkably they all work without a hitch. (IE gives an active content alert each time the page is opened, alas, but it can be ignored without complication.) I figured I'd put this here in the chance anyone else found it, or even the idea behind it, useful. So that it loads quickly, though, I'd suggest one downloads the page to his HD, makes any applicable changes (like the links to LiveJournal and any other ones desired), and loads it locally.
