Anchor Link Milly’s Bookmarklets

“Bookmarklets are simple tools that extend the surf and search capabilities of Netscape and Explorer web browsers. These are adapted (and slightly improved [#1]) from the cool tips given in the LangaList newsletter, and use the Google search engine (because it’s quicker than Microsoft’s own), or the FreeAnswers search engine (because it’s often better than Microsoft’s own) to search for MS Knowledge Base articles, or all the MS sites. MS support do have some tricks of their own, but many people often find these ‘quick and dirty’ searches easier and quicker. And if you really want to get into the bowels of MS (ugh), you need this page. And you surely won’t be sorry about paying a visit to James A. Eshelman’s Windows Support Center. Oh, and I’ve thrown in a couple more for good measure.”
