Running a Desktop Shortcut From Within Internet Explorer

Tips

Internet Explorer has a feature where you can open desktop shortcuts from within the browser by typing the shortcut name.

So if you have a desktop shortcut named “Word” that runs MS Word, typing “Word” in IE’s address bar will bring up MS Word. This opens up some interesting possibilities.
