Coming from the "Stop, Drop, and Scroll" department, Lockergnomie Kjell Skjebnestad exploits a hidden Internet Explorer feature. To effectively read a lengthy Web page, one must scroll up and down (and sometimes side to side). For those of us with 'wheel' mice, the scroll bar has virtually become an obsolete control. Until a Gnomie pointed this out to me, I hadn't realized that IE could do this (at least in the latest version). What? Right-click anywhere in your browser's vertical scroll bar area. Up pop a few useful options: Scroll Here, Top, Bottom, Page Up, Page Down, Scroll Up, and Scroll Down. Stop dragging, dudes. Click once and go!
