How to use Address bar without typing HTTP://

[fabiousa]

Dear Guys,

I have 2 machines with IE.
One of them (NT) works perfectly fine if I type in an address without

http://,

i.e.,

http://www.tek-tips.com.

The other one, I must type in

http://www.tek-tips.com.

(Windows 2000 Server)....

How can I configure the last one so that I don´t need to type

HTTP://.......

The best thing to do on both machines is use the Ctrl+Enter command.

type tek-tips in the address bar then hold Ctrl and press enter, this will automatically fill in the prefix and .com

Thanks for the tip but it does not solve my problem once most of the sites I use have the suffix .BR.

Just wanted to type the address without HTTP://


thanks,

Fabio

Hi Fabio

Try unticking [Do not search from address bar]

Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet options, Advanced tab

This will stop searching from the taskbar and may solve the problem.

That's what I was looking for.
