Internet Explorer web browser home button:  Take a look at the ADDRESS at the top of IE.  See the icon to the left of the ADDRESS URL?  Did you know that you can grab that with your mouse pointer, and drag it into your HOME icon to make it your default HOME page?

If you know the url, such as http://www.ominski.com, you can type in just "ominski" (without the quotes), hold down CTRL and hit enter, and IE will fill out the rest of the address for you and take you to the page.
