i don't know if its bin sed but hold shift and move your mouse wheel up gos forward and move it down to go back . (ie6)

in most browsers:

• alt left arrow - back
• alt right arrow - forward

in ie in particular ctrl-tab puts you in the address bar

edit-and i just want to add that this is probably the most helpful(in a general sense) thread that i have ever run across. so much so that it prompted me to join the board.

It is a great thread nadaness

And welcome to OZZU.

One of these days I need to go back through here and compile this and put it in an easy to locate format. I'm learning new tricks everyday, but just haven't had the time to jot them down here. I can't recall without looking back whether or not it was posted but one of the most convenient timesavers for me is to use the space bar on the keyboard to fill in radio and checkboxes in forms and then tab to the next. Beats the heck out of mouseclicking through all those.

you can also go back a page by hitting Backspace

and then there's all the old ctrl short cuts:
Ctrl-N for new window, Ctrl-S for save, Ctrl-O for open, Ctrl-P for print, etc

Change the "Microsoft Internet Explorer, provided by ISP Name" stuff that gets plastered across your internet explorer title bar.

NOTE : Do not attempt this if your uncomfortable with the windows registry!
Also, I have tested this in w2k/IE6, Nothing else.

HKCU\Software\Micorsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
There is a string named "Window Title"
Whatever the value of that is will be plastered across your internet explorer title bar (next to the page title)

Holding down Alt and hitting Tab lets you scroll through all open windows/programs.
