CTRL+ENTER disabled

[Sal]

Installed latest service pack for IE6 and now the shortcut
CTRL+ENTER (which adds www and .com to a typed address in
the address bar)just takes me to Microsoft's MSN Search
page. THAT SUCKS. Any ideas how to get the shortcut to
work other than an uninstall/re-install?

You will need to check your registry settings. See this site for more info:

Be sure to back up your registry if you are not comfortable editing it.
Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.

You should confirm in Tools\ Internet Options \ advanced tab
that Use Inline Autocomplete is checked. If not, check and apply\okay
your way out.

Sal,

AutoCorrect feature can correct common errors. For example, if you
accidentally type "htp://" or "http:\\" instead of "http://," Internet
Explorer 5 and 6 can automatically correct the error as soon as you click Go
or press ENTER.
To turn on the inline AutoComplete feature for Web addresses, follow these
steps in Internet Explorer:

1.. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2.. Click the Advanced tab.
3.. Under Browsing, click the Use inline AutoComplete for Web addresses
check box, and then click OK.

If this does not help, open Registry (regedit.exe) and goto the following
key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\DefaultPref
ix

In the right-pane, set the data for the value "default" to "http://"
