I have a incredibly annoyong erro on two XP machiones Ive never seen before.

When I type something into the adress bar of an explorer window to go to a
new location, half way through while I am typing the address bar reverts to
show the address of the current showing directory.

For example, lets say I have an explorer window open in the directory
c:\program files:

I click the address bar (which now empties and is ready for input) and I
want to type in (for example) \\f00-address\c$.

What happens then is that after I type "\\f00-a" (approximately) the address
bar will revert back to show "c:\program files" with selected text. Since I
am still writing and this text is selected I will overwrite this with the
rest of the address.

When I am done typing and hit enter this is what is in the address bar
"ddress\c$".

This retarded error occurs on two separate computers with completely
different sets of software.

Its driving me nuts because its impossible to search google for a solution
on a address bar that is not working, and my computers are more or less
useless with this function gone.

I would appreciate some help on this, thanks!

IT Support,

My understanding is that OP is talking about WINDOWS explorer..

Can't see why he should seek for help in IE forum only..

Why don't you post the issue you think you know that solves the issue? Or
better yet solve it instead of telling the op you have seen it solved before
which is really a cop-out you know. Oh by the way I think the the issue of
the excluded middle has achieved a world-wide consenses. At least that is
what I have seen before on some newsgroup.

I just have to ask, why do you answer a post if you obviously even have not
it read it? Seems odd. But thanks anyway.
