Hide Links Folder on Favorites Menu (All Windows)
Internet Explorer persistently creates a Links folder on the Favorites menu, this tweak allows you to remove it.
There are two methods that can be used to hide the Links folder, one using the registry and the other using file attributes. Both methods are detailed below:
Using the Registry
Open your registry and find the key below.
Set the value of "LinksFolderName" to equal a blank string. Open IE and delete the Links folder from the Favorites menu.
The next time you start Internet Explorer the Links folder will not be recreated.
Using File Attributes
Using Explorer find the location of your Favorites folder (e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\Joe Bloggs\Favorites) within that folder will be a sub-folder named Links.
Select the Links folder and right-click (or secondary click) and select Properties, check the Hidden checkbox and click OK.
From now on the Links folder should be hidden from the Favorites list. This works for any other folder or link on the favorites menu as well.
Note: The Links folder must be manually deleted from the favorites menu. This tweak stops it being automatically recreated.

View Source Not Working in Internet Explorer (All Windows)
When you attempt to view the source HTML of a web page in Internet Explorer it may not be displayed for several reasons. This article describes some of the common causes of this problem.
There are a number of reasons that the Internet Explorer View Source feature may not function correctly, below is a list of the most common causes.
1. Temporary Files Full
When the Internet Explorer disk cache becomes full it may stop the View Source function from working. To resolve, open Internet Explorer and click "Tools" > "Internet Options" > "Delete Files".
2. Cookie Folder Location
This issue can also occur if your Cookies folder is located on an NTFS partition and you do not have at least Change permissions for the Cookies folder. To resolve, make sure your account has sufficient permissions on the Cookies folder.
3. Missing Notepad.exe
The View Source function uses Notepad to display the HTML, if "notepad.exe" is missing from the Windows directory then it will not work. To resolve, ensure a copy of Notepad.exe is in the Windows directory.
4. Incomplete Page Download
If you press the ESC key before the page has completed loading then the "View Source" menu item may not be displayed.
5. View Source Restriction
The View Source function may have been restricted by your Administrator. To resolve, see the "NoViewSource" registry value in Internet Explorer Restrictions.
6. Invalid Temporary Directory
You may also receive this error if the path specified for the TMP environment variable is invalid. To resolve, make sure that the TEMP directory is a valid directory and that there is sufficient space on the drive.
7. Invalid View Source Program
If you have specified an alternate program to view the source code (see Use an Alternate Source Viewer with Internet Explorer). To resolve, make sure that the alternate viewer is valid and operational.
8. Right-click disabled by Web Page
Some web pages may implement a restriction to stop visitors from right-clicking on the web page. The source may still be viewed by clicking the main "View" menu,
Change the Download Location for ActiveX Files (All Windows)

Manage Partial Address Feature in Internet Explorer (All Windows)
The Internet Explorer partial address feature, scans common domains for a match to a keyword entered in the Address bar. The feature is limited by default to searching only .COM, .NET, .ORG and .EDU domains. This tip allows you to add new domains and modify their priorities.
The values listed under the key below control which domains are auto searched for matches to the keyword entered in the Address bar.
To add a new domain simply create a new string value and name it a sequential number (e.g. '7'). Set the data of the new value to equal the domain you want to search, for example to also search .DE domains add a new value of 'www.%s.de' (%s represents the keyword).
To change their priorities, simply rename the values with sequential numbers where '1' is the site to be checked first.
