Shortcut on Web Browser

[jm]

Quick question:
On most PCs I use - the Ctrl-Enter shortcut to adds the www....com before
and after the domain in the URL of IE.

I've got a new laptop for work running XP Professional and this doesn;t
work.
I looked for a setting or a switch turning this on/off but can't find it.

Any suggestions?

Using Regedit, browse to the following registry key and make sure the noted
setting is correct:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoComplete]
"Append Completion"="yes"

also see the following values:

"Use AutoComplete"="yes"
"AutoSuggest"="no"

You may have to Restart the computer.
