Hi Helen
In the address bar you can type in for example google.com
instead of the full
http://www.google.com.au/
My problem is that it will only accept the full address
and must include the http://
I'm using internet explorer v6
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Try the following and see if this helps.
To Restore Address Search Functions
Restore default Search functions:
In order to restore you default Search functions, download and run

This will restore the Windows defaults for a whole lot of Search
related registry entries.
CAUTION: BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST!
Close IE, copy the bold to Notepad, save as Search.reg (save as 'all
files', and doubleclick. Answer 'yes' when prompted to add the
contents of Search.reg to the Registry:
REGEDIT4
