Shortcut to the Microsoft Knowledge Base

microsoft knowledge base shortcutA long time ago (in a blog far, far away) I lamented the lack of documentation on Apple's knowledge base. It's gotten better, but still is nowhere near the comprehensive nature of Microsoft's KB. Granted, MS has a lot more to say since it makes more tools, but to call their KB labyrinthine is putting it nicely. Worse, just jumping to a particular KB article, even if you know the specific number (and some messages will give you this). Annoyances Central has a quicker way to jump to KB articles. It requires IE6, and the TweakUI PowerToy. Essentially you're just creating a shortcut for the search string. You can do this with any search site, so it doesn't just work for MS's KB.
