F6 automatically highlights the URL in the address bar of IE - copy and paste at will.
It also works well with Firefox. I tried it.

[ctrl]+[alt]+[del]= task manager
In vista, that opens that weird blue screen of... life, with the options to log off/open task manager etc.
ctrl+shift+escape is a better way to open the task manager in Vista, however if a program has crashed and is preventing that from working - you press ctrl+alt+delete to get the other screen and then choose task manager.
