IE Finding your way in it

Do you ever make the remark “ I know where I was, but where did I go?”

Have you ever found yourself on a webpage, and not be sure of the address (URL) because you have been taken there through an unlabelled link?

The address bar is of no help, it only tells you the last URL you keyed, or perhaps just the home page, or domain of the website you are visiting.

One solution is to Bookmark the page, note the URL on the link that this creates, and then delete the link from the list.

However, this has a certain element of clumsiness about it, and there is an easier way, not to mention lazier, way of doing this.

If when using IE, you simultaneously press Ctrl + N a new browser window will open for you with the current page in it.

The address bar now contains the correct URI part of the URL.

One advantage (or disadvantage, depending upon what you are trying to achieve by doing this) is that the history in this new browser is also complete.

It’s not like opening up another tab on other browsers where the page is on its own, liberated from its history.
