In many schools, computer clubs and offices admins have set restrictions about using Internet explorer so people cannot browse the Internet.
Here is a simple method to open any URL:
Open any Windows program, for example calculator.exe.
Click F1 on keyboard to open the help menu.
Now click with right mouse button on titlebar.
jump to url
Click ‘Jump to URL…’ submenu.
In the new dialog window type your web address and the webpage is opened in the right part of the help.

Recently I had problem with my Outlook new message icon on taskbar.
The little envelope did not appear anymore when a new email arrived.
I had to check often Outlook for new emails.
The solution of the problem is easy:
Go to menu Tools.
Click on Options.
outlook-tools-options
In new popup window Preferences tab /first/, click on E-mail options button.
A new dialog window is opened. Click on Advanced e-mail options… button.

Third dialog window is opened.
Find and check the checkbox ‘Show an envelope icon on system tray.’
outlook show envelope
Click OK.
Now everything is OK – the envelope appears as expected.

I use IE7 so much but never knew that little trick to open links in new tab.
Usualy when you want to open a link in new tab you click with right mouse button, then select ‘Open in new tab’ submenu.
This makes two mouse clicks and one mouse move.
I found a better way to open link in new tab. You maybe know it but it is new for me:
Point the link and click mouse wheel!
It is so simple! It saves me hundreds of clicks!
This little trick works for all kinds of mouses.
Hope to like it.
