Alias feature makes you able to type a short alias instead of a long URL in full. You need just type the alias in the address bar. $ProductName will replace the alias with its full URL and then navigate to the target address. Select Tools->Alias Definitions to bring up the alias definition dialog in which you can view and edit alias definition entries. The following are some examples of aliases,
| Alias | Full URL |
| ym | mail.yahoo.com |
| lh | http://localhost |
| gl | www.google.com |
| myprj | d:\user\smith\vc\proj1 |
You have no need to define aliases for the folders available in the Shortcuts Menu. There are shorthand built-in commands to access those folders.
