IE looking to desktop for URL

[rhoenig1277]

When I open Internet Explorer everything looks o.k. But then I type in a web address (

http://www.yahoo.com)

and IE tries to find it on my desktop. I get a Cannot Find Page error and in the address bar is C:\documents and settings\username\desktop\

http://www.yahoo.com.

If I click the drop down to see the history it shows up like windows explorer drop down would. If I put http:// in front of the address it works. I've run HiJackThis and gotten rid of all erroneous entries. Scanned for viruses, there were some but were removed. I'm at a lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Robert

Thank you for the response. I will look at that entry.

Another Issue the User is seeing is the listing of programs is also looking to his user profile. Is that also a setting in the Registry?

Thank you
