Many of us know about dragging the icon to the left of the URL to a folder to create a shortcut. This is my primary method because I keep so many bookmarks. What do you do what you can’t drag it? One example is Carbon Made, I’m not even sure what prevents it from being bookmarked this way, but it doesn’t.

Here is the trick, go to C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSER\SentTo then open the start menu and navigate to Accessories. Right click and drag the Notepad shortcut over the folder for SendTo and release then select ‘Copy Here’. Make a copy of a bookmark, right click and select Send To -> Notepad. This will open the shortcut so you can edit it. Change the things you want to change and save it. You now have a shortcut to the page you wanted. You also have the ability to send absolutely anything to Notepad. I use this Notepad trick for a lot of things.
