MUST enter http:// first or IE6 doesn't work

weird problem. you can usually enter xyz.com into your browser and it
will render the page, but we have one browser in the building that you
MUST enter http:// before the web address or it doesn't work.

Any thoughts?

Use this registry fix:

http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/RepairDefaultPrefix.reg

After downloading, right-click and merge.

Then, spend some time reading...

Hi Erik,

Try to copy this and paste into your Notepad as (key.reg) and then execute
to repair the registry:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\DefaultPrefix]
@="http://"

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

HTH.
