"Once this is on your toolbar, you'll be able to make a TinyURL at the click
of a button. By clicking on the toolbar button, a TinyURL will be created
for the page you are currently at.
This is compatible with most web browsers and platforms as long as your
bookmarks or favorites allow javascript. The links toolbar may not be
visible in all setups and in most browsers, you can enable it in the
View->Toolbars menu of your web browser. You can also put it in your
bookmarks instead of the links toolbar."
I used my links access on my toolbar in OE6 daily ... I'll email tinyurl ...
-) but, I did find out how to see the links (View/Links) in OE7 - but the
tinyurl does not open with that url of the website I am on...as it used to
do. The aforementioned url has to still be entered, which wasn't the case in
OE6.
