URL Shortcut

[Bob]

I'm using IE 6.0. I have always been able to autocomplete a URL by typing
in the middle part, say Yahoo, and then holding down Ctrl and pressing
enter. The www and .com would automatically be added. Suddenly this has
stopped working.

Does anybody have any thoughts on how to fix this?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
First, enable Inline Autocomplete in Internet Options> Advanced.

Then, if necessary, run regedit and navigate to the following registry key.
Verify that the value (right pane) is correct.

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

Also verify that these values are correct:
"Use AutoComplete"="yes"
"AutoSuggest"="no"

Bob,

Follow these steps to regain the CTRL+ENTER function back:

Click Start, Run and type CONTROL INETCPL.CPL
Select Content tab, and click AutoComplete button
In the Use AutoComplete for section, put a checkmark near Web addresses
Click OK, OK to close the dialog.

Equivalent registry value for this setting

Value named: AutoSuggest of type REG_SZ
Possible value-data: yes | no
