I found what I was looking for finally. Thanks. Here's
what I found. Step by Step Tutorials / Internet
Explorer 6 Text version
Turn On or Turn Off Inline AutoComplete
Turned on, this option tells Internet Explorer to
complete entries when you type Web addresses in the
Address bar, based on entries you've used before. You can
select the suggested entry by pressing ENTER, or choose
from a list of additional options by pressing the DOWN
ARROW key until you find the one you want, then pressing
ENTER. This option can benefit people with mobility
impairments by helping save keystrokes. Users who find
inline AutoComplete distracting can turn it off.

It may very well be that your work computer is more up to date. For your
home computer verify that it has all of the latest Internet Explorer updates
by going to Windows Update.

At work, when I type an address in the address bar, a
drop down box appears and the first address is
highlighted (for example, I type
www.m a dropdown appears
with say
www.media.com and
www.microsoft.com.
www.media.com is highlighted). All I have to do is hit
enter and I go straight to media.com. However, at home,
the same dropdown box appears, but nothing is
highlighted. Is there something I can do in setup to get
it to highlight? Or is it just that my work computer has
a more up to date system? I am currently running XP home
version and Internet Explorer 6. Thanks.
