Posted by 1337g33k on August 29, 2006

Lifehacker: “When Gina posted her favorite 15 Firefox Quick Searches, she used a Firefox feature which associates keywords with frequent web searches. But you can use bookmark keywords not only for web searches, but to navigate to your favorite sites and inner pages, and even launch bookmarklets without moving to your mouse.

You can add Administrative Tools, Printers and Fax Devices, Scheduled Tasks, Network Connections, Recycle Bin, and My Network Places to the window by using this tweak.

The ‘tweak’ includes some simple registry editor edits, and takes about 60 seconds. This is a nice way to add some functionality to something that was just sitting there on my desktop. What are your best My Computer tips? Thoughts to comments or to tips at lifehacker.com. — Wendy Boswell
