I am finding that ALL of my bookmarks to API reference material at MSFT are
no longer valid
For example

MS have been doing some re-shuffling (again). Try this link:

The above link results in a server error in Firefox and a page not found
error in IE.

I could access the link provided by Stuart just fine. The only solution is
to get the bookmark title and search in MSDN to find the new link.

Did you notice that Stuart's OE didn't include the '(VS.85).aspx' in the
link which actually is part of the Url? You have to copy the full Url and
paste it into the address field of your browser.
