IE Browser Shortcut!

Tired of typing out "http://www." and ".com" ? Well, just
type in the domain name (eg Xltronic, Hotmail, Yahoo), then
hit CTRL+ENTER, and it fills out the rest for you! Just try
it! :D I don't know how to make it do .net or .co.uk (if it
does at all).

I mostly use favourites, and IE autocompletes the rest while
I type anyway.

mozilla adds 'www' and 'com' automatically if you don't type
it in

... or one can use a more decent browser than IE. Not hard
to pick one I tell you.

I use Mozilla as well as IE ... the only annoying thing is,
GoogleBar doesn't function on anything but IE. Sucks.

add favourites on my computer at home from my computer at
work.

comes in real handy.

Nah, firefox has its own googlebar, you can also add
your own engines, and it does all this autocomplete crap. It
is awesome.

wtf is a googlebar?
Is that like you can type searchwords directly into the
URL-text-'block'?
That's the same for every browser I think. You can even
specify what search engine to use.
If this is not a googlebar, please correct me.

If I knew who the fuck this Don character was, I might agree
wid ya! :D

Key_Secret - The Googlebar is basically the google search
without having to go to Google (CTRL_eNTER)

No, that's what the official googlebar does, not the Firefox
one.
