Help! Entire website address needed to access website http://www.

[Jenny]

Hello, everyone.

We are having problems with Internet Explorer 6 recently--started about a
week ago or so. When we type an address in the address bar, we have to type
the entire web address--not just www.microsoft.com (for example) We have to
type http://www.microsoft.com. Every time! We would like the http:// to be
automatic like before. I'm stumped. Any suggestions? Thanks so much.

Found a second problem referenced in this newsgroup, which led me to the
solution.

See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918165
"Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install
security update MS06-015".

Hi Jenny,
This is caused by a windows update released last tuesday their is an
automatic registry fix for it on line 383 right hand side at this link.

Run the edit even if you do not have the "share to the web" program
installed.
Also if your anti-virus program alerts you of a script trying to run allow
it to do so, these scripts are written by Kelly Theriot, a Microsoft MVP and
a Godsend to these newsgroups!

Or if you wish go to add/remove and uninstall hotfix KB908531 and wait for
a new release to come out by Microsoft.
