OK OK if you search my site, you will notice that this is really a duplicate of
Internet Explorer 5
Keyboard ShortCuts . What the hey! The IE shortcuts are the same for Windows
NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Basically IE5 and IE6 are identical re:
keyboard shortcuts. But XP users like to think its unique. The reality is that
XP is an updated Windows 2000. Nearly all Windows 2000 tips are Windows XP tips.
And guess what most Windows NT tips work for Windows 2000 and Windows XP. There
are new features but they are built on NT’s foundation. For more info on
keyboard shortcuts implemented in Windows XP:
