Got someone with whom you exchange e-mail regularly? Speed up the process by placing a shortcut on your desktop. Just drag a mail link from any Web page or e-mail message and drop it onto the desktop. (Before you do, make sure it's an e-mail link by placing your pointer over it and checking the status bar for the string "mailto:username@domain.") Next, right-click the new shortcut, select Rename, and label the icon with the person's name. When you double-click that icon, your default e-mail client will open, and the To field will be filled in with the right address. --Judy Heim
