typing address in browser..must add http://

[katz840]

Whenever I type an address into ie, I must add http:// in front of the www.
whatever .com All I used to have to type was www. whateever. com (I am
adding spaces as I type so they don't look like real links).

This is not a huge problem, just an irritating one. I have looked all
around, and cannot find anything addressing this issue.

Thanks for your help. Dana

You can just enter the keyword and then hold down the ctrl key and hit
enter. To go to http://www.abc.com just enter abc into the address bar and
hold down the ctrl key and hit enter.
