IE: Create Custom "about:" page

We can create custom about: pages (like about:blank) in Internet Explorer by editing the registry.

1. Start -> Run
2. Type in regedit, and press ENTER
3. Goto
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs
4. Right-Click -> New -> String Value
5. Enter a keyword for the value name, and the URL of the Web page for the value data, for example:

Value name: Google
Value data: http://www.google.com/


Done! You can access it by typing about:google in the address bar of Internet Explorer.
