I don't know if anybody has ever posted this, but I thought it was pretty cool. I couldn't find any other way to do this.

I was wanting to use Voice Command to open a specific web site. For example I wanted to say "Open Weather" and it would go straight to my local forecast on www.weather.com.

To do it I:
1. Opened internet explorer, found my local forecast and saved it as a favorite.
2. Opened Windows Explorer and copied the internet shortcut I had created from the Windows\Favorites folder and pasted it in the Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder.
3. I renamed the shortcut to "Weather"

I can now use Voice Command to go directly to my forecast. Obiously this could be done with any website I visit on a regular basis (like ORB). I suppose if I create enough my programs folder will look pretty full, but with Voice Command I don't really care so much.

Sorry if this is common knowledge, but I searched everywhere on this forum and couldn't find anything on creating internet shortcuts.
