IE 5.1 'download link to disk' shortcut

If you hold down the option key while clicking on a link, IE will download that link directly to your disk instead of opening it in a new page. So instead of control clicking and then selecting 'download link to disk' you can save a little time by just option clicking. This is also great for saving links you might want to read later on without having to go to the page and then save it as html, etc.

Hope this might be as helpful to others out there as it has been for me since I've stumbled upon it.
