CTRL+Enter

[Jeff Haskins]

I use CTRL+ENTER a lot to populate
the "http://www. .com when browsing in IE. This has
stopped working for me. Now it performs a search as if I
just hit ENTER. I can't find a setting, but I think it
is default with IE.

Jeff,

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://"
