<font color=blue> Ok when I'm browsing the internet I have like a million windows opened, the problem is how can I make explorer open a blank page, without setting blank page as default. Isn't there like a keyboard shortcut to do this, Because evertime I open a new window I have to hurry up and press stop.

Yep... open notepad, and create a *.bat file

&lt;path to&gt;\iexplore -nohome

Create a shortcut to this file.

Watch IE5.x open in millisecs.

<font color=blue> Good tip, it opened a bit faster, but I want it to open blank. </font color=blue>

for a blank page instead of:
&lt;path to&gt;\iexplore -nohome

use:

&lt;path to&gt;\iexplore about:blank

no hyphen before the about:blank

<font color=blue> OK I tried it, but it does not come up blank, maybe I am doing it wrong, can you please tell me step by step what to do.
Thanks. </font color=blue>

start c:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe about:blank

this is the line in my batch file, you might need to change the directories, depending on where your iexplore is, but this works on my machine

ok, make a new text file in notepad, insert the following line: start c:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe about:blank

then save it as a .bat file and it should be ready to go
