Address Bar not responding

Apparently Microsoft's most recent update changed a setting or something in
IE6 because the "http://" is no longer defaulting when you manually type in
an address. The favorites drop down works since that already has the prefix
in place as do the links when you are in a site. Does anyone know how to fix
this or do we have to wait for Microsoft to pick this up and send a fix out.
I really do not want to start deleting the updates since I do not know which
recent one it was or what else might be affected. I hope Microsoft reads
these Dislcussion Group Comments since getting the information to them
appears to be difficult. 3nadog

I am having the same problem that 3nadog is having...just so you know
that it is not just you
 
I can also manually type an address and it defaults to putting http:// in
front of the address, so no problem here either.

Thank you very much for the information. Went to the google site and
followed the directions to delete the update causing the problem. Really did
not want to mess with the registry. Everything is back to "normal" now with
the exception that the deleted update is no longer in place. I hope that the
problem can be addressed by Microsoft to permit the reinstall of the update
without the problem soon. Again, thank you for the assist.
