Can IE6 still fill in the "http://www" and the ".com"

[Spaceman Spiff]

All,

If I recall correctly, it used to be that one could just type "cnn" into the
Address Bar, and the browser would, after failing to find a server at the
URL http://cnn would then guess that what you really meant to type was
"http://www.cnn.com," and it would automatically take you there. This was
very convenient.

My installation of IE6 doesn't provide this convenient way of loading URLs,
even those that begin with "www" and end with ".com" -- and I wish that it
would. Is there a place that I can go in the settings to fix this problem?

even those that begin with "www" and
end with .zl6

Wow. I had written .com where it says .z16 above!

Who knows why it did that?

Hi,

If you hold 'Ctrl' and press 'Enter' after you have typed in the address bar
it adds,

"http://www." before, and ".com" after whatever you have typed.

Is that what your looking for?

David,

That's exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks,

The .com was changed by Zone Alarm, thinking it was seeing an executable
file. It can sometimes be a bit over zealous but I wouldn't want to live
without it.

After typing CNN in the address bar press Ctrl - Enter
insted of enter - it will fill in everything else for you.

Question: My CTRL+ENTER keys (which adds www.???.com to a word in the
address bar stopped working.
How do I get back this functionality?

Solution:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoCo
mplete]
"Append Completion"="no"
"Use AutoComplete"="yes"
"AutoSuggest"="no"

Changing "Append Completion" from "no" to "yes" will restore the function.
