You know what I want?

A toolbar on the browser [like Google's] that allows me to automatically search the support.microsoft.com site. 

But wait, I already have a specialized addition to my IE to allow me to quickly jump to a KB article ...a little tool called mskb.zip   Hey!  I can do a customized search string like that and add a shortcut search to the Microsoft support web site!

I may be a coder yet!

And hey, was trying the KB search again and it was actually out googling, google!  May need to search the Knowledgebase again...

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;KBHOWTO

And is everyone aware of how you can do a search on the KB's affecting SBS and released in the last 14 days?

Search the Knowledge Base:
http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?InCC_hdn=true&Catalog=LCID%3D1033%26CDID%3DEN-US-KB%26PRODLISTSRC%3DON&withinResults=&QuerySource=gASr_Query&Product=sbserv2003&Queryc=&Query=&KeywordType=ALL&maxResults=150&Titles=false&numDays=14&InCC=on

Pretty cool, huh?

Tried to find the mskb.zip file, but no luck! Can you post it here Susan?

TIA

I updated the link to my copy - it may need tweaking for the new kb structure though

Thanks for that, Susan.
However, it is only a registry hack - the MSD2D site talks about registering a dll.
I tried just entering mskb://kbnumber and it doesn't work. :(
