No Home in IE

Blanked out


You can open Internet Explorer to a blank page.

Sometimes your normal home page may be too busy, or slow to load when you just want to pop out to a different location.

This trick will give you a blank slate to paste in a new URL.

  1. Create a new Desktop shortcut
    (Right click an empty spot on the desktop and choose New>Shortcut)

  2. Copy the following, and paste it as the target for the shortcut:


    "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" nohome

  3. Name the shortcut something like Blank IE
