Whenever I type a url in my address bar using IE 6.0, I am directed to http// webpage. And what shows in the address bar dropdown is where #### is the site I am trying to go to. FOr example, If I type in I will be directed to webpage and will appear in the address bar dropdown the next time I look there. I am never taken to yahoo.com. The only way that I can get to a different webpage is by clicking onto a site in my favorites or by searching for the site via my home page search engine. My homepage is set for MSN.com. If I type yahoo.com in the searchbar, I will be directed to yahoo or whatever I desire.

How can I get rid of this? It's painful to use the internet this way. Help!!!!!

I have done all the usual high level stuff i.e looked in typed urls, cleared History and files etc etc but this will not shift. It will bring up the URL if I type in the tool bar the first letter i.e s or if i type in This is really p***ing me off and ur help would be much appreciated ...

Thanks
