when entering web addresses in the address bar on explorer 6.0 SP2 it no longer automatically adds "http://" in front of the web address I enter (ex: "www.microsoft.com).  Therefore it won't search unless I manually enter "http://www.microsoft.com" each time.  Any suggestions?

Top of web page tools internet options delete files delete cookies clear history, content clear ssl state autocomplete clear forms.\nGo to your c drive windows prefetch delete all but not layout, switch off you modem and leave for 5 Min's and then switch back on and leave for another 5 Min's.\nThis will clear a lot of junk and speed up your pc and should solve the problem of HTTP.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nGood Luck.

don't use internet explorer anymore. use mozilla firefox and you will never have to worry about activeX. http://www.mozilla.com

Next to the address bar (top of window) - Where Apple has had it on Safari for many years BTW - interesting copying behaviour going on.\n\nHere's a pic\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/community/columns/securityupgrade.mspx\n\n///

Addresses have two formats on Yahoo! Answers.\n\n1)  www.yahoo.com (no link)\n\n2)  http://www.yahoo.com (a link)\n\nSimply, if you have included the "http://" prefix, the website will be linked to. If you do not, it will appear as plain text. That way, you can decide whether you want to link or not.\n\nHope this helps!\n\nP.S. Technically, you are supposed to use "http://" even when typing an address into the address bar. But nowadays, our browsers do it for us, so people fell out of the habit.

for the most part is shouldn't matter which you use.  ./, / , and nothing, all mean the same.  If the first two are used, you are explicitly telling your webserver to look in the current directy of execution for whatever file.  If no address is specified it defaults to look in the current directory.  \n\n../ means "look in the parent directory" so if our current directory is /usr/local  ../ would take us to /usr.  \n\n\nIdeally both of these switches are used for directory traversal.  Commonly used in command line interactions (linux & dos) eg: (DOS)--> cd ../

Sounds like a problem cuased by Xp SP2? Can't tell you an exact fix, but instead of clicking the link to open the Keyword checker, try pressing and holding down the mouse on the link. Then drag it to the address bar and release it. If this doesn't take you there, the link is http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/

I wonder if people type in the html code directly into the answers - I will test this theory now. \n\nlink typed in www.yahoo.com \nlink typed with http http://www.yahoo.com \nlink copy and pasted in http://au.yahoo.com/ www.yahoo.com\nlink written in HTML <a href='http://www.yahoo.com'>Link to Yahoo</a>\n\nwhen I previewed this, only the website addresses with HTTP:// are highlighted - I guess this is the difference.

On Internet Explorer 7 click the gold star on the left of the toolbar, or press Ctrl + i or Alt + c on your keyboard, and also if the Menu Bar with File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, and Help isn't showing, click Tools (an icon that looks like a gear) on the bottom right of the toolbar, a menu pops up, click Menu Bar, or right click a vacant space on the toolbar, a menu pops up, click Menu Bar. \n\nIf you only need the Menu Bar with File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, and Help to appear temporarily just press the Alt key on your keyboard. This way your toolbar doesn't take up as much of your screen. If you want it to stay permanently, right click on a vacant space on the toolbar and click Menu Bar.\n\nTo make Google your home page, go to Google, click Tools at the top of your screen, click Internet Options, on the General tab under home page click Use current, click Apply, click OK

Dude, put it in the address bar and not in the search bar, cuz sometimes pages like yahoo and msn, use the search bar instead of the address bar, configure your computer to do it properly.\nCHEERS!!!

In the example above, "yoursever" is your website.  For example, if you own billybob123.com, you would replace "yourserver" with "billybob123.com" in the above example, so it would look like http://billybob123.com/catalog/inst..."  Don't try to click on that link, it won't go anywhere.  :-)\n\nI think the above example is assuming you do have your own domain.  I'm not sure what to do if you're using something like geocities or your ISP's personal webspace.  If the program name indicates what it does, you might not be able to.  If you adminster a domain, and need help, whoever gives you tech support should be able to help.  If you don't....  I don't know what to tell you, but I do wish you luck!

Usually this is because for some reason the browser can't find the url you put in and it redirects you to the default search page.\n\nDo two things:\nOpen IE, click on Tools, Internet Options. Then click on "Delete Temporary Files" and check the "delete offline files box" then "delete cookies" then "delete history." Then try it again.\n\nUse this url: http://www.mcafee.com/us/\n\n\nBTW, have you downloaded the updates for windows and IE? If not, I do recommend that you do windows update and do so.\n\nGood luck!

so you want to keep some entry in the address bar. ok there is only one way :\n-- just open internet explorer browser then select history \n   and delete unwanted site from the list so you can keep \n   those site that you want.\n-- other way is whatever site you want just store in \n   favorites: for that just open browser and whatever site you want to open u just type name and open it after that select favorites button and there is option for "add" so select that and store in favorites list and those list you can access anytime

Try downloading the internet explorer add-on.  I have it, and when something wont load, you click an IE icon in the bottom corner and it makes the website think it is an Internet Explorer search window.  You do not need to have internet explorer installed on your computer for this to work.  It's been a while since I added mine on so I dont know the best way to find this add-on any more.  Best bet is search 'internet explorer' on the extensions page.  Hope you find it because it works great!
