To avoid littering my bookmarks toolbar with a zillion buttons, I've created these bookmarklets which help get you to useful places in SharePoint relative to the site you're currently viewing.
To add them to your browser, right-click on each of the links above and select "Bookmark this link" or "Add to Favorites". For convenience you'll probably want to add them to either the "Bookmarks toolbar" or "Links" folder, making sure the relevant toolbar is visible in your browser. I've added a few these to a MOSS sub-folder so that they appear as a pop-up menu. And before you say anything, I know I could add these to the Site Actions menu but I think these are quicker to use and easier to set-up.
Some of these are MOSS specific but it should be fairly obvious which will work with WSS. They all work in the same way, using the 'L_Menu_BaseUrl' JavaScript variable to build up the URL of a page usually in the '_layouts' folder. If I've not included a bookmarklet for that page you're always hunting for, it should be easy enough for you to put it together yourself.
Hope you find them useful.
