Open up a text file in Notepad, paste the following into it, and save it in C:\Windows\Favorite\Links as "Dictionary.url"
[DEFAULT]
BASEURL=http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=
[InternetShortcut]
URL=javascript:Q=document.selection.createRange(). text;if(!Q){void(Q=prompt('Gimme%20some%20text%20t o%20search%20the%20dictionary',''))};if(Q)location .href='http://www.dictionary.com/search?q='+escape(Q);
Modified=208A864C78AEC30166
This will put a link called "Dictionary" on the links toolbar in IE, that allows you to do the following:
*Highlight a word and click the link to search dictionary.com for that word
*Or, simply click the link to open a dialog box where you can input a word to search for.
You can also replace all references to "dictionary" in the above to "thesaurus" if you want to search for synonyms instead. :D
