Word in Word

Not IE



Have you clicked on a link and had a PowerPoint or Word document open in Internet Explorer, rather than in the application it was designed for?

Gus Perez brought up the problem in his blog:
Open Word files directly in Word not in IE.

No Home in the IE

Blanked out


You can open Internet Explorer to a blank page.

Sometimes your normal home page may be too busy, or slow to load when you just want to pop out to a different location.

This trick will give you a blank slate to paste in a new URL.

  1. Create a new Desktop shortcut
    (Right click an empty spot on the desktop and choose New>Shortcut)


  2. Copy the following, and paste it as the target for the shortcut.

    "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" –nohome


  3. Name the shortcut something like Blank IE
