Address Bar Not Defaulting in HTTP://

I am running IE 6.0 with service Pack 2 on an XP machine, and it has suddenly
started behaving strangely.

If I type an address, e.g. www.website.com into the address bar and press
Enter, nothing happens at all. If I prefix the address with "http://" then
everything works fine. I have never had to manually key in the "http://"
before and cannot find any settings that apply to this functionality.

Does anybody know what causes this and how to put it right.

Thanks

Jonathan
 
MS06-015 was re-released on 25 Apr-06.

"When the [MS06-015] update is re-released, it's going to be very much
targeted to people who are having the problem, or people who have not
installed MS06-015 yet. That means if you have already installed MS06-015
and are not having the problem, there's no action here for you. Windows
Update, Microsoft Update, and Automatic Update will have detection logic
built into them to only offer the revised update (which essentially includes
the reg key fix) to those customers who either don't have MS06-015 or are
having the problem."
