Q Article in the Address Bar

[OlyTech]

I used to know of a way in IE to enter a Microsoft KBase Q Article in the Address Bar and go straight to the article. Does anyone know how to do this, or if it is even still possible?

Not exactly:

and look near the bottom of the page.

Another alternative:

Knowledge Base URL launcher.
KBURL is a freeware program that will convert a KB article ID to its' URL and optionally launch it. It has a number of usefull configuration options.

First you have to go search and customize and set up your address bar to use MSN. Then all you have to do is type in mskb Q123456(Example only) then go.

Thanks. I knew I used to be able to do that. I just couldn't remember what you had to put in front of the Q#. Thanks a lot, that was driving me nuts.
