Google's Search Sidebar is incredibly convenient. Download it here. Use the Plus sign to add gadgets much as in igoogle except that they and the search window are always at your fingertips. I have a long and short term todo list and The Google Tip of the Day. When space is an issue, minimize the bar by clicking the Minus sign at the top and you can have a floating deskbar.
Personally I prefer the Firefox browser to Internet Explorer. One feature I love is that folders on the Bookmarks toolbar can be opened simultaneously. Make sure the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible (View > Toolbars > should have at least Navigation and Bookmarks toolbars checked). Here's two I have set up. One folder called Mail includes all my email accounts and two sites I want to check every morning). To get the sites in the folder, visit a site (for example, Woot and GiveAwayoftheDay); drag the icon in front of their address on top of the folder. Clicking on the folder displays the option "Open All in Tabs." I also have one called Search which includes a number of search engines.
