On a client's machine, she is having problems getting to
websites by just typing in the following format:
www.google.com or google.com. She can however get to the
site if she types in the whole string as follows:
http://www.google.com or uses websites in her favorites
that have the full string. Where with in IE can you make
the change to recognize just www? thanx!
 
*Perhaps* this will help, but no promises:
