Question : Address Bar in Internet Explorer 6.0

Okay heres what I got...  In Internet Explorer lets say I type in the address "google.com" or "www.google.com" it wont go anywhere, however if I type the address "http://www.google.com"  then it will go to the site.  Is there an option or a registry key that puts the "http://" in the bar automatically because i do not have to type that on any other computer i have ever used.  I have already tried reloading IE and checked trough all the setting I could find... maybe I missed one?

Alright. Make sure your registry settings for the following entries look exactly like the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\
DefaultPrefix default="http://"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\
Prefixes
"ftp"="ftp://"
"gopher"="gopher://"
"home"="http://"
"mosaic"="http://"
"www"="http://"

Did you try downloading this?

Sorry for re-posting. I'm just trying to fix this as many ppl seem to be having the same prob. I'm in HK and it's 2.52 am here mate.

I'm going to sleep in like 8-10 mins.
