I installed some microsoft updates and now I must enter the complete URL to
browse to a webpage ( i.e. http://goog;e.com instead of just google.com).

Any idea how to reverse this action.
 
Perhaps the following will explain & resolve your issue:

Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell
after you install security update MS06-015

Easy Fix: Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll
down to Item No. 383 "Hewlett-Packard's Share-to-Web software - Fix (MS06-015)"
to download a registry fix.

Note: You may need to temporarily disable your antivirus program
in order to safely run the scripted fix.

Also, review the following:

This is a result of a bug in the MS06-015 security update. Here is the automated fix.

Go to the following website:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Click the link on line 383 (right hand side). This will download the HP's Share to web software-fix file.

Double click the downloaded file to run. This will automatically fix the problems caused by the Security Update MS06-015 as detailed in "Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install security update MS06-015".
