You've probably seen the "about" tricks in your Web browser before. If not, try typing "about:lockergnome" in the address line of either Netscape or Internet Explorer. Nothing terribly impressive, right? Well, IE users can customize their own "about" dialogs in the Registry. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Internet Explorer > AboutURLs. Then, you can create customized "about" screens at your leisure--just direct any given keyword to a Web page or site. Thanks to a few Lockergnomies for submitting this tip.
