Explorer Address bar Reacting Too Quickly

M

Martin Harran

More of an irritation than a problem.

I have a number of PC's connected to my own PC using VPN's over which I have
to copy files.

For handiness, I use Windows Explorer with address in format
\ \Server\Dir$\SubDir and just drag the files onto it.

When I go to change the address, e.g to \ \Server2\Dir$\SubDir unless I type
very quickly, the address changes to the last few letters I typed and opens
up Internet Explorer to try to find that shortened address..

Is there any way I can slow down the Address Bar reacting to a change in the
address, ideally not having it react at all until I hit Enter key?

Martin,

Try disabling AutoComplete

TOOLS menu | INTERNET OPTIONS | CONTENT tab | AUTOCOMPLETE button...
